Riverside East Rotary is cheering on Tim Kelley, who is riding in the 2026 California Coast Classic Bike Tour to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. Tim is putting in the miles for a great cause, and you can help him reach his fundraising goal by donating on his page: https://events.arthritis.org/participants/437793. Thank you, Tim, for pedaling for the millions of people living with arthritis!

We’re also proud to recognize Tom Evans, who has earned Paul Harris Fellow +5 recognition for his generous, ongoing support of The Rotary Foundation. Gifts like Tom’s help fund projects that fight disease, provide clean water, support education, and promote peace around the world. Thank you, Tom, for living out Service Above Self!

Our club was moved by Robert Loeun’s talk on Building Pathways to Employment & Empowering Youth. Robert shared his personal story of growing up in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge era and escaping to America to build a new life. We are grateful for his courage and honesty in sharing it with us.

Robert now channels that journey into helping young people. His program connects youth with the skills, support, and opportunities they need to find meaningful employment and step into their futures with confidence.

Thank you, Robert, for your story and for the work you do to open doors for the next generation.
