The Magic of Rotary is that it can connect charities to multiply the benefits. One charity that Culver City Rotary Community Foundation supports is Nourish LA, which rescues food that is still fresh but can't be sold (from bakeries and grocery stores) keeping it out of the landfill and giving it to people in need. Culver City Rotarian, Heather Witt, picks up food from bakeries, and drops it off at recipients of Culver city Rotary Community Foundation, Upward Bound House, Culver Palms YMCA, Grace Diner and Culver City Meals on Wheels. The giving circle is complete. https://www.nourish.la/blog/volunteer-of-the-month-10-heather-witt

Discover • Connect • Engage

New to Rotary? Curious how Rotary really works? Ready to get more involved?

Join Rotarians and Rotaractors from across the district for an interactive, in-person Rotary 101 Workshop designed to inform, connect, and inspire. Meet our past District Governors and District Leaders.

This is not a lecture—it’s a hands-on, relationship-driven experience. Through guided conversations with District Leaders and small-group activities, you’ll learn Rotary essentials, connect with fellow Rotarians, discover service and leadership opportunities, and leave energized and confident about your Rotary journey.

Highly recommended for new members and valuable for any Rotarian looking to re-engage.
