Our members in action: recent projects and events.
Executive search professionals Kathy Dawson and Gina Brehmer volunteered their time to teach high school students how to build a strong resume, in a program put together by Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris.
Irvine Rotary, UCI Rotaract and Soka University Rotaract came together for their annual joint Halloween party. So many great outfits, and Michael Bonfa cooked up a feast.
Soka University Rotaract held its first meeting of 2026-27 and installed its new board of experienced past Interactors and Rotaractors.
Soka Rotaract and Irvine Rotary joined other Rotary District 5320 clubs to build an entire house in one day for a deserving family in Tecate, Mexico.
Irvine Rotarians and Soka University Rotaractors joined the bi-annual free eye and dental clinic in Ensenada, Mexico. Donated toys and a children's area kept the young patients happy while they waited for care.
On World Polio Day, Pinto and Taschka proudly showed off their End Polio Now bandanas. Rotary has worked to end polio worldwide for over 40 years.
Irvine Rotarians and District 5320 Rotarians traveled to Kenya for a Friendship Exchange, hosted by Kenyan Rotarians. Wonderful sights on safari and new friendships with fellow Rotarians.
We welcomed Rotary District 5320 Governor Monica Peters to our meeting in royal fashion. It's Queen Monica!
