Alaina Blair is a young talented singer/song writer that you may remember coming to our club dressed as Dolly Parton and singing 9 to 5 as a kick off to our Literacy Campaign for Dolly Parton Imagination Library. She and Erick Masek are teaming for a Concert at Wilson Winery. They are giving $1.00 per ticket to our Rotary Club to benefit the 500 Temecula children that we sponsor. It is a Friday evening concert starting a 7pm. The tickets are $20 each and they include music and food. I have included a link to a video promotion publicizing the concert…we are the "charity to be announced" mentioned in the video. Alaina was very gracious in helping us out with our Literacy Campaign last year and she asked if we could be their charity for this concert. Please spread the word and come out for an evening of good music, food and of course Wilson Winery wine and Champagne!

Rotary has a long history of supporting our military. The Rotary Club of Temecula has picked up on that tradition and created The Military Family Support Project. Our project is simple in its very own nature. Listen to the issues facing our local Military Personnel, and their families, and apply the necessary resources that are needed to resolve the issue.

Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self is channeled through five Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of Rotary.
New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities such as RYLA, Rotaract and Interact club service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange.
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.
Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to PolioPlus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.
