Our Community
Rotary Supports Our Military
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 Avenues of Service
Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self is channeled through five Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of Rotary.
