Hot off the press...the Duarte Rotary Club was just honored on the Senate Floor in Sacramento...
Resolution for being the "mouse that roared". Margaret Finlay got a separate recognition for being one of the three longest council persons in the state of California. We really have something to "roar" about.
Rosa, our outgoing president had her flight paid by Senator Rubio, incoming president Larry Braceda paid his own way and so did Margaret. 👏👏👏 ... See MoreSee Less

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Rotary District 5300!
Today, we’re thinking of the dads and father figures who’ve helped shape who we are—with their love, steady presence, and quiet strength. Whether they’re still with us or live on in our hearts, their influence reminds us of what it means to lead with compassion.
Let’s honor them by living out Rotary’s mission—showing up, serving others, and building stronger communities. If there’s a father figure who’s made a difference in your life, we’d love to hear about it. Share a memory or story and help us keep their spirit shining.

Rotary International President-Elect, Mario César Martins de Camargo, who was slated to begin his service on July 1, has made the difficult decision to resign, citing personal health, business, and family reasons. While this is sad news for the Rotary family, it's also an opportunity for us to remember that we lift our communities and one another up as members of Rotary. Mario’s theme, Unite for Good, isn't just his, it’s ours to carry forward. So, let’s lead with love, serve with humility, and build hope together. Let’s remind the world that Rotarians are People of Action!
