A small but mighty team of Club members picked grapefruit and lemons from trees at a home in San Carlos on February 17, and oranges and tangerines at the home of Peggy Davis on February 24. The dozens of bags of fresh fruit were donated to the East County Transitional Living Center, a nonprofit that provides meals, training, and therapy to our neighbors in need.
La Mesa Sunrise Rotary Club members spent a Saturday morning in January filling bags of potatoes and oranges at the San Diego Food Bank. The 7,000 pounds of produce was destined to be distributed the very next day to families impacted by the recent flooding. Club members were very glad to do their part to help neighbors in need!
Making the season brighter for some little ones was the goal of the La Mesa Sunrise Rotary Club on December 8, 2023.
The Club purchased dozens of toys, clothing items, and other gifts for the young children of students in the Learn4Life Network of charter schools.
LMSR Club members hopped on board to tap into a barrel full of fun and fundraising at Citizen Brewing!
The two-stage project began with a brewing lesson and session in November 2023 capped off in December with filling and labeling dozens of bottles of La Mesa Sunrise IPA and La Mesa Sunrise Hefwise.
On September 23, 2023, several of our members gathered at a site between the AAA building and the medical offices building along Alvarado Creek off of Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa. This was to assist with the annual I Love A Clean San Diego Creek To Bay Clean-up day. It is amazing how much trash piles up in just a year! It is also amazing what we find each time we participate! Also helping but not pictured were Laurel and Grant.
On Saturday morning at 8am, our newest member Deirdre Kleske organized several Rotarians (Ivan, Marco, Ivy, Ana, Deirdre, David, and visiting Richard Makao) to move a large mound of compost to the vegetable beds at Tubman Village Charter School. Many of our friends and families volunteered to help that morning as well. The Tubman students will soon have lots of wonderful vegetables to eat and learn about when school starts.
