Rotary Club of Petaluma Valley, President Jerrie Patterson:
“A Society is measured not by how high it raises its citizens, but how low it allows them to fall.” Unknown
Rotary offers a unique opportunity to give back to the community…all communities. By combining our efforts with the 1.2 million other Rotarians world wide, or with the dozens in Petaluma, we can make a difference in peoples lives. We can provide help for those in need and create opportunities for those who strive to better themselves and their communities. Together we can chip away at intolerance, ignorance and fear.
My vision for our Club, is to continue to grow Rotary and keep its “Service Above Self” creed by collaborating with as many like minded citizens as possible. Whether you join us as a member of Rotary, or as a friend to the world community…we will welcome your assistance and dedication."
Our Rotarians are volunteers, and our community service projects require the collaborative efforts of many people within our community. Some examples of our club’s tireless effort to improve our community are:
Back to School Clothes for COTS Homeless Shelter Children. The Club purchased back to school socks and gift certificate for shoes for the homeless children at the COTS (Committee on the Shelterless) Family Shelter. In the fall, we will give them a gift certificate for jackets for the winter ...more.
