Today Riverside East Rotary was joined by Sharon Morris with Voices for Children.  Voices for Children provides volunteer advocates for children in Foster Care in Riverside County.  These advocates help to provide a consistent presence in the children’s lives, solve problems, and advocate for their needs.

We also got to enjoy a rousing rendition of Tis the Season from our own Dave Schull.

Thank you to District Foundation Chair Patsy Orr for joining us today and sharing about the impact our dollars make.  We were also happy to present Rose Mayes with a check to support the Fair Housing Council’s Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway.

A big thank you to Jennifer Lilley from the City’s Economic Development Department, Marisol Ramirez from Planning, and Evelyn Davila from Code Enforcement for joining us as our program speakers!

We really appreciated the great information and insights you shared about what’s happening in our community.

Today Riverside East Rotary was joined by Dr. Mark Long, Dean of UCR School of Public Policy. Thank you for a great presentation!

This week at Riverside East Rotary, we enjoyed a great presentation from our fellow club member Nick Lopez of NIR Plumbing. Nick shared stories from his recent trip to Ireland.  He also spoke about his inspiring involvement in global clean water efforts — including the Toilets for Life initiative.  Thank you, Nick, for all you do!

At our recent Riverside East Rotary meeting, we were pleased to welcome Rich Vandenberg, Broker with Guild Mortgage and dedicated community volunteer. Rich shared a valuable update on the current housing market and gave an insightful presentation that helped us better understand the trends impacting homebuyers and our local economy.

We’re grateful for community-minded professionals like Rich who take the time to engage, inform, and serve. Thanks for joining us, Rich!
