The Rotary Fundraiser, Beers, Brats & BBQ raised over $35,000 to support humanitarian Programs both Internationally and locally. The fundraiser allowed for a donation of $12,500 to Casa De Amistad which will help to fund The Kinder To College Study Companions Program. 
 
In recent weeks, we have celebrated the addition of two new members and enjoyed several wonderful presentations, featuring: Daniel Baldwin, author; Tom Newman, Del Mar Foundation; and Phil Kendro, Mount Soledad National Veterans Association. 
 
 

Del Mar Mayor Terry Gaasterland gave an update on some of the important projects impacting Del Mar and the surrounding communities, including the relocation of the bluffside railroad tracks and new low-and-moderate-income housing proposals.

Our Rotary supports local and international efforts all over the world. This August, some of our members traveled to El Salvador and visited some of the programs we help support, which was covered in our local papers.

As the world's pioneer service club, Rotary International has a rich history dating back to 1905. With 34,000 clubs and 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide, Rotary leverages collective resources to tackle global challenges, from eradicating polio to promoting education and fostering peace.
