Taste of the World a Huge Success

The Rotary Club of Temecula would like to send out a HUGE THANKS to the community, to our sponsors, restaurants, entertainers and everyone who supported Rotary Taste of the World last Friday. The sold out event at South Coast Winery & Resort was wildly successful, raising nearly $40,000 to support Temecula Rotary's service projects in the community and around the world.

Funds raised will go toward local high school scholarships, holiday food baskets for families in need, and local military support. Internationally, the Rotary Club of Temecula sponsors efforts to eradicate Polio, and to provide childhood nutrition, clean water and many other humanitarian services.
