Join with SB Rotary Clubs to beautify Seccombe Lake Park, Fifth Street and Sierra Way this Saturday from 9-12!

So proud of the Senior Rotary Life Scholarship Class of 2021 today. One of the high points of each year is a camp planned by the Senior Class usually held in the beautiful San Bernardino mountains where they get to know each other better and learn about Rotary and leadership. This year, due to covid-19, the Seniors were faced with the choice of canceling camp or doing a virtual camp. These resilient, creative Seniors reinvented camp online with heart, bringing all the clas...ses together, having a great time and learning. They showed such perseverance and spirit! The weekends in the mountains always end with a campfire where highlights of the experience are shared, bonds and new insights are acknowledged, and few eyes remain dry. With a virtual campfire burning on the screen, these Rotary Life Scholars testified to how much the camp and the Rotary Life program have meant to them. These are tomorrow's leaders! RL founders Bob Henley and Chuck Terrell would be so proud. See more
