Altadena Rotary Club Pancake Breakfast and Community Service Awards Ceremony was held last weekend.

Pasadena Rotary members joined Altadena Rotary to celebrate fellow Rotarian Mark Mariscal, recipient of the 2025–2026 Service Above Self Award. Presented by Rotary District 5300 Governor Gilda Riazi Moshir, the award recognizes Mark's longstanding leadership and commitment to service.

In his remarks, Mark thanked the Rotary Club of Pasadena for its partnership and support, particularly following the Eaton Fire and the recovery and community service efforts that followed. His comments highlighted the strong bond between our clubs and our shared commitment to serving those in need.

The ceremony took place during Altadena Rotary's semiannual Pancake Breakfast, a longstanding tradition that raises funds for the Altadena Mountain Rescue Team, the Christmas Tree Lane Association and other local causes. The event brought together Rotarians, community leaders, and residents in support of organizations that play an important role in the life and safety of Altadena.
