On Saturday, September 26, members of Riverside East Rotary joined the American Red Cross for Sound the Alarm at Santiago Estates in Riverside. Volunteers installed free smoke alarms and shared fire safety education and escape planning with residents, helping make homes safer.

Thank you to our Rotarians Matt Morgan, Christopher Cox, Matt Goatcher, Chris Gray, and Jonathan Steele for showing up to serve.

We were also thrilled to be joined by Amelia, Andre, and Penelope from the brand new Riverside STEM Academy Interact Club. It was great to see the next generation of service leaders get started, and we can’t wait to see what they do next.

This week at Riverside East Rotary, we welcomed Jim Selth, a retired bankruptcy attorney and fellow Rotarian from the Murrieta Rotary Club. Jim shared his insights from a distinguished legal career navigating one of the most challenging areas of law — helping individuals and businesses find a financial fresh start during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

It’s always a pleasure to connect with Rotarians from across our region!

This month our club donated 800 cans of cranberry sauce to The Salvation Army to support their holiday meal efforts for families in need.  Thanks to Finn for facilitating this!

The 35th Annual Garbis Der-Yeghian Peace Conference was held this month and Riverside East’s very own Ben Nyende created this beautiful sketch of Sylvia Whitlock, the first woman in Rotary.
