We partnered with the newly charted Rotary Club - SF Bay Area as well as the California Native Plant Society for a fun and rewarding volunteer event at Lake Cunningham Park. Kids and adults of all ages participated in a weed removal project to beautify our community space. Together, we learnt about the importance of environmental stewardship while enjoying the outdoors. Gloves and tools were provided. Let's continue to make a positive impact on our local environment and create a cleaner, greener space for all to enjoy!

We learned how to tell plants we want to keep from invasive weeds.
Let's use wheelbarrows - much easier than carrying!
The month of February is very special in the Rotary calendar because it includes the anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held on February 23, 1905, now designated as the World Understanding and Peace Day.
Rotary's goal of worldwide peace and tolerance has been an unwavering pursuit: conducting global forums, hosting international peace symposiums, advancing peace through its 60-year collaboration with the UN, as well as grassroots initiatives such as the Rotarian Action Group for Peace.
Rotary International President R. Gordon R. McInally called for members to capture the world's attention and lead the way toward possibilities far beyond our current expectations.
"The goal is to restore hope — to help the world heal from destructive conflicts and, in turn, to help us achieve lasting change for ourselves,"
