What does it take to right a wrong and restore justice?

Join the Rotary Club of Menlo Park this Wednesday, April 29, 2026, for a powerful talk by Karyn Sinunu-Towery, a longtime Santa Clara County prosecutor and past president of the San Jose Rotary Club.

She will share the story, “The Innocence Project: Jeremy Puckett’s Journey to Justice,” and how her work with the Innocence Center helped secure his freedom after a wrongful conviction.

The Innocence Center is dedicated to freeing the innocent, educating the public, and helping individuals rebuild their lives after release. Their work has helped free more than 40 people who collectively spent over 560 years in prison for crimes they did not commit.

Curious about what’s quietly keeping our community healthy and safe?

Join the Rotary Club of Menlo Park this Wednesday, April 22, 2026, for a fascinating talk by Rachel Curtis-Robles, an ecologist and infectious disease epidemiologist. She’ll share the history of mosquito control in San Mateo County, how it works today, and the no-charge services available to residents.

It’s a great example of the kind of behind-the-scenes work that protects our community every day.

We’ll also hear a short talk from one of our newer members, always a highlight as we get to know the people who make our club stronger.

Join us this Wednesday for a truly inspiring Rotary meeting.

We’re excited to welcome student tutors from Menlo Park high schools who will share their experiences with Healthy Cities Tutoring—a program that provides one-on-one tutoring and mentorship to students who need it most.

This is service above self in action. Young people stepping up to support their peers, helping improve not just academic performance, but confidence, engagement, and a sense of possibility.

Come hear their stories and see firsthand how small acts of service can create lasting impact in our community.

Rotary’s Rose Bowl Parade Float has an African Safari theme this year! We like to think it’s a tribute to our Solar Safari project 😉. Happy New Year!
