Point West Rotary in the Community
Dear Members and Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to each of you as the current President of the Rotary Club of Point West - Sacramento. Serving in this role is an honor, and I look forward to the ongoing impact we can make together.  Rotary International, with its 1.4 million members worldwide, stands as a testament to the power of collective action. Together, we can continue the tradition of impactful projects that transform lives and inspire hope. Explore more about Rotary International at www.rotary.org. The heart of our club lies in living Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self". 
Point West Rotarians and friends provided another inspiring day of leadership to students at Encina High School.  Celebrating our 12th anniversary of our "Partners in Leadership" program, we love this annual event where our members connect with local teens discussing ethics, values, leadership - empowering the next generation!  Together, we're building tomorrow's leaders!  With 35 mentors (Rotarians, friends and family) partnered with 35 high school students...magical things happened!
 
            
Big congratulations to Point West Rotary! At the District Foundation Dinner on Saturday, October 19th, PWR received recognition in not just one, but three categories for our achievements in giving to The Rotary Foundation in 2023-24 under Past President Roger Gilleland’s leadership!
 
We placed third in Annual Fund Giving ($24,316), PolioPlus Giving ($11,533), and Per Capita PolioPlus Giving ($184).  These awards represent the hard work, dedication, and generosity of our amazing members. Together, we continue to make a difference in the world through Rotary’s mission!
 
  
Over the last several decades, Point West Rotary has proudly supported the California Eagles golf program at Haggin Oaks.  PWR has provided financial support over the years as well as having many members showing up on Tuesday nights (each week from May to September) at Haggin Oaks to be coaches to the many athletes in the program.   Our club recently finished out another year serving as coaches and we want to thank all of those that participated...PWR members Russ Fujii, Robert Haney, Bea Maurer, Mike Bede, Kathi Berger, Sandy Thompson, Tom Engwer, Joanie Mather, Glen Cheron, DeWana Ljung, Desiree Wilson as well as Ed Schatz, J.R. Corcoran, Jake Slaven, Zach Berger, Dwight Chambers. It was an amazing year and we think the coaches had as much fun as the athletes!
                
The California Eagles is a golf program for athletes of all ages with special needs. The program includes, but is not limited to, those with Down’s Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Attention Deficit Disorder, autism, deafness, blindness, or recovering from heart attacks and strokes.
