A man with a passion to feed the hungry tells how Rotary helped him meet his personal and professional goals -

Ending hunger, eradicating polio, promoting peace. Rotary takes on the world's toughest challenges. We might be the place where you make the difference you envision.

"Fellowship with a Fork," or "Dining Around," is a monthly program we're trying out this year. When registration opens, the first dozen members to sign up are hosted by another member at a favorite local restaurant or at the host's home. We support local businesses and enjoy each other's company in the true spirit of Rotary!

Time with fellow members who share common goals is a solid foundation for lifelong friendships. Each member brings unique skills to help our club, and all of Rotary, make meaningful change around the world. Learn more at rotary.org/our-work.

Last year, the Los Altos Rotary Club, in partnership with the Santa Clara County Library District, brought the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to Los Altos and the surrounding communities. Parents can enroll their children for this free program at local libraries or at https://imaginationlibrary.com/ The program mails more than 3 million books around the world each month to children from birth until 5 years.

Children enrolled in the program are four times more likely to develop advanced reading skills and improved academic performance as they grow older.

Thank you, Dolly, for your love, your joy, your music and for creating the Imagination Library, which helps children grow up with a richer and deeper understanding of the world. Your legacy will help to inspire smarter, happier and more successful children for generations to come.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children from birth until they begin school in participating areas.

Rotary, the world's first and largest service organization, started in Chicago in 1905. If there is something cool that the Bay Area does not invent, we quickly adopt it and make it our own. Two of the first five Rotary clubs were established here - and today, there are more than 100!
1. Chicago, Illinois: February 23, 1905
2. San Francisco, California: November 12, 1908
3. Oakland, California: February 5, 1909
4. Seattle, Washington: June 15, 1909
5. Los Angeles, California: June 25, 1909

Los Altos Rotary, established in 1949, is still going strong but are always looking for more good hearted people who want to work to make the word a better, healthier and safer place locally and around the world.
If you are curious about what specific projects we do and how much we enjoy doing them, contact us for an invite to a meeting Thursdays at noon. [email protected] or losaltosrotary.org under the "about" tab.
