On Veterans Day, we honor a profound intersection of service and sacrifice.

22 minute audio about Home from War, a hard won struggle from the RI Magazine 
https://open.spotify.com/episode/35FGEvBGjPCWynd82NPzln?si=RjMD6hOaQHa035KhFkeESg

Lending a helping paw to veterans
When Gil Igleheart and Dick Mellinger heard that veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including many from their own generation, were being helped by service dogs, they knew they had to get involved. 

Neither Igleheart nor Mellinger, both in their late 60s and at the time members of the Rotary Club of Cayucos-Seaside in California’s Central Coast, served in the military, but they had friends who had served and had come home troubled and scarred. 

So in January 2016, they laid the foundation for the nonprofit organization known today as Pawsabilities for Veterans.

Did you know that several U.S. presidents have been Rotarians? 
Leaders like Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump shared Rotary’s commitment to service and community. 

As we approach Election Day, let’s remember the Rotary 4-Way Test as a guide: 
Is it the TRUTH? 
Is it FAIR to all concerned? 
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all? 

No matter who we vote for, let’s engage with respect, integrity, and a heart for the greater good. 
Make your voice heard and vote!  🇺🇸

Las Vegas After Hours Rotary Club held their annual Halloween Club meeting and with our DG’s visit scheduled of the same evening, we decided to have a Disney-themed event to kick off the excitement for the 5300 District Conference Disneyland on Saturday April 15, 2025.  Our DG got right into the spirit of the evening, dressed as Groucho Marx!  It was a fun-filled, informative evening, with his favorite Italian food and lemon squares.  
Also, congratulations to Jeremy Bruner who received his “VSP” honor from DG Driebe.

What is Rotary?

Rotary is an international membership organization made up of diverse groups of people who share a passion for and commitment to enhancing communities and improving lives across the world. Rotary clubs exist in almost every country. Being a member is an opportunity to take action and make a difference.

How Did We Get Here?

We’ve been making history and bringing our world closer together for more than 100 years. The first Rotary club was started in Chicago, Illinois, in 1905 by an attorney named Paul Harris. Harris wanted to bring together a group of professionals with different backgrounds and skills as a way to exchange ideas and form meaningful acquaintances. In August 1910, there were 16 Rotary clubs in the United States and by 1912 Rotary started to expand internationally. By July 1925, Rotary clubs existed on six continents. Today, there are more than 35,000 clubs, in almost every country in the world.

Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. Through the PolioPlus program, Rotarians have contributed more than $2.1 billion to date and provided an army of volunteers to promote and assist at national immunization days in polio-endemic countries around the world.

Find out more about Rotary by visiting the Rotary International website.

The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:

Of the things we think, say or do

  1. Is it the TRUTH?

  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

WE CONNECT PEOPLE

Rotary unites more than a million people

Through Rotary clubs, people from all continents and cultures come together to exchange ideas, and form friendships and professional connections while making a difference in their backyards and around the world.

WE TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES

We take action locally and globally

 

Each day, our members pour their passion, integrity, and intelligence into completing projects that have a lasting impact. We persevere until we deliver real, lasting solutions.

WE SOLVE PROBLEMS
