The Rotary Club of Pacific Palisades welcomes you! Keep reading to see what our club has been up to! 

Member Spotlight

Pacific Palisades Rotary wants to spotlight Marie Tran, an outstanding member of the Pacific Palisades Rotary Club. Marie stepped into the role of Zoom Master during these unprecedented times where social distancing has become the new normal. Zoom has become the most essential way for our club to communicate, celebrate and connect with each other and Marie has played an integral part of that transition to Zoom life. Thank you Marie for your oustanding leadership and dedication to Service Above Self. The club of Pacific Palisades wouldn't be the same without you!

2020 Toy Drive

We hosted our annual Toy Drive on December 9th & 10th! We are so excited to have had the opportunity to host the event this year in a safe and socially distanced way. The toys will be donated to Families of the Salvation Army and Westwood Transitional Village, a non-profit organization helping families transition from homelessness to independent living. Our hope is to always spread the joys of giving and service above self. 
 

Speaker Dr. Randi Raymond

on November 10, Dr. Randi Raymond, an integrative doctor who founded the Eden Retreat Center in Costa Rica, sought support for a proposed plastics recycling plant on the Tarcoles River. Raymond said the 69-mile river drains the deciduous forest to the north, and rain forests to the south, but becomes one of the most contaminated rivers in Central America by the time it reaches the Pacific. 
 

New President, Trish Bowe

Trish Bowe has stepped up to become president of the Pacific Palisades Rotary Club at an unprecedented time.
Instead of their weekly breakfast meetings at Aldersgate, the club now has dinnertime Zoom meetings. Charitable donations must be handed out while wearing masks and respecting social distancing. Fundraising has moved online, including a May event that raised $3,700 and included dinner, cupcakes, bingo, and a Memphis entertainer.
