President’s Message

I am honored to serve as the 102nd President of the Rotary Club of Beverly Hills. Our club is almost as old as our city and only slightly younger than the historic location where we meet each week; the 113-year-old Beverly Hills Hotel. We are the embodiment of the spirit of Rotary; service above self. For over a century, we have brought community leaders together to support local and international projects which promote peace, fight disease, combat homelessness and hunger, promote education and fund clean water wells in remote parts of the world.

This last year has been particularly challenging following the fires in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades as we mobilized to support those communities. We collected food and clothing, raised money for the impacted families while also providing essentials for the first responders who worked tirelessly to save homes and lives. Even with the challenges of these local catastrophes, we continued our core mission to fund local charities unrelated to the fires, where we donated over $150,000 and tens of thousands internationally, including through Rotary International.

We are over 100 years old, and while our members and charities may be different, our core values and precepts remain the same. At our heart we are always “Service above Self.” And for all things, our true north is the Four Way Test: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

As we move into the next 100 years, we know that things will change. We are looking to recruit new members and younger members; people who will carry our message into the future and do things in the “modern” way. We must continue to support those who need us, to find new charities and causes which meet our mission and need our help. But in the end, Rotarians are Rotarians. There are over one million of us worldwide. We know our mission, our cause. We are committed to a stronger, brighter, healthier and happier future.

Please come join us on this journey. Our meetings are (almost) every Monday at noon. Let me know if you would like to come. We would love to meet you.
