Upcoming Wednesday, December 10th ~
we're excited to welcome District Governor Alex Parajon along with his hard-working staff.
Our club was founded to support YOUTH leadership and is home to local Scout troops as well as our longstanding program to honor local Hermosa Beach students, including Hermosa Valley School and Our Lady of Guadalupe, 8th grade Students of the Month culminating on selections for Students of the Year at the end of the academic year.
Carrying on the Rotary tradition, the Past President passes the gavel to the Incoming President for the New Rotary Year. We were thrilled to welcome Angie Silverman and AG LeeAnn Robinson to install the 2025-26 Club Officers at our July 8 board meeting.
Hermosa Beach Farmers Market is Making a difference
Rotary members and program participants are improving lives in communities around the world every day through thousands of service projects. Explore the good work that we’re doing locally and globally, and share these projects through social media.
At the District Breakfast, we were proud to accept the award for donating the largest per capita Annual Giving to the Rotary Foundation.
Hermosa Beach Rotarian Laura Leventhal was just shortlisted as a nominee for The Los Angeles Times Studios Executive Leadership & Forum 2025. In addition to her professional life, she volunteers her time for a number of local non-profits, including Friends of the Parks, Heal the Bay and Leadership Hermosa. And for benefit of Rotary, she is always behind the scenes in the club's social media management.
Help us welcome our speaker and former Ambassadorial Scholar, Yo Oshima.
Throughout the years our club has had several community members who sat on the board of the local chamber. So it is not only fitting but exciting to welcome Jessica Accamando representing the Hermosa Chamber of Commerce as the club's newest member!
New Membership opportunities for organizations, non-profits and businesses, Hermosa Beach Rotary welcomes the Chamber of Commerce!

It is with a very heavy heart that we report the passing of J Travers Devine on October 15, 2024.
A California kid born in Burbank, UCLA grad, former teachers union arbitrator, U.S. Army vet who survived Vietnam and became a lifelong activist maintaining principals of fairness and truth. Travers made extraordinary contributions to the community of Hermosa Beach as well as to Rotary International.
Cheers to J Travers Devine, one of a kind, they broke the mold with that one...
Fortunately for Rotary International's Los Angeles District, it includes the remarkable Past District Governor, Cozette Vergari (Past President of the Westchester Rotary Club). Cozette, among other accolades, is a lawyer and a fierce advocate for the victims and survivors of heinous crimes, and became personally driven to fight for minors, efforts to protect the innocent, especially young children who have been siphoned from our neighborhoods, schools, parks and airports, almost right before our eyes but unrecognized by many, victims and survivors of sex trafficking.
During her Rotary district governorship in 2017, Cozette began coalescing a team of dedicated and passionate professionals to combat this growing epidemic in our cities and states coast-to-coast and created the first ever "cause-based club" in Los Angeles, Rotarians Fighting Human Trafficking.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Bruce Newlin on April 27, 2024, the inaugural Director of the UCLA Principal Leadership Institute and former Hermosa Beach School District Superintendent dedicated and compassionate educator who led with kindness and a warm heart. Bruce was an honorary member of the Hermosa Beach Rotary Club.

Today, over 70 million people are displaced as a result of conflict, violence, persecution, and human rights violations. Half of them are children.
We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts. As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of our mission.
We believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect.
Rotary prioritizes the month of March for clean water and sanitation. More than a basic necessity, when people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives.
