Riverside East Rotary lent a hand at Habitat for Humanity Riverside’s Brush of Kindness project. In just a few hours volunteers from Rotary and other organizations painted a local house and left it looking like new. Thanks to all who were able to attend!

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!

Thanks to Larry Burns for joining us today! He shared some great picks from his revised 2nd edition of “100 Things to Do in Riverside Before You Die”.

Today we were joined by Robyn Peterson, Director of the Museum of Riverside who shared an update on the exciting changes in progress!

Today we were honored to hear from our very own Richard Lemire, who shared his journey toward becoming District Governor for Rotary District 5330.

Richard spoke about what it takes to step into this leadership role, his plans for the upcoming year, and the broader mission and structure of our district. It was a great opportunity to gain insight into the work happening beyond our club and the impact Rotary continues to have at a district level.

We also enjoyed a rendition of God Bless America on the trumpet by Dave, and Dennis shared his story about exchanging club banners with a Rotary club in India.
