Fortunately for Rotary International's Los Angeles District, it includes the remarkable Past District Governor, Cozette Vergari (Past President of the Westchester Rotary Club).  Cozette, among other accolades, is a lawyer and a fierce advocate for the victims and survivors of heinous crimes, and became personally driven to fight for minors, efforts to protect the innocent, especially young children who have been siphoned from our neighborhoods, schools, parks and airports, almost right before our eyes but unrecognized by many, victims and survivors of sex trafficking.
 
During her Rotary district governorship in 2017, Cozette began coalescing a team of dedicated and passionate professionals to combat this growing epidemic in our cities and states coast-to-coast and created the first ever "cause-based club" in Los Angeles, Rotarians Fighting Human Trafficking.
 
 
A fun and lighthearted demotion party held in honor of Todd Saks' year as president was held at Decadence in Hermosa Beach.
Stepping up once again for her 4th term, is Jenn Floto!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Bruce Newlin on April 27, 2024, the inaugural Director of the UCLA Principal Leadership Institute and former Hermosa Beach School District Superintendent dedicated and compassionate educator who led with kindness and a warm heart.   Bruce was an honorary member of the Hermosa Beach Rotary Club.  

Throughout the years our club has had several community members who sat on the board of the local chamber.  So it is not only fitting but exciting to welcome Jessica Accamando representing the Hermosa Chamber of Commerce as the club's newest member!
 
New Membership opportunities for organizations, non-profits and businesses, Hermosa Beach Rotary welcomes the Chamber of Commerce!

hoping to give local eateries a boost with its 2024 class project- Top Dish Hermosa! 

In the month of April, 40 local restaurants offer a menu that includes a three-item tasting sampler plate.

Hermosa Beach Farmers Market is Making a difference

Rotary members and program participants are improving lives in communities around the world every day through thousands of service projects. Explore the good work that we’re doing locally and globally, and share these projects through social media.

Today, over 70 million people are displaced as a result of conflict, violence, persecution, and human rights violations. Half of them are children.

We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts.  As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of our mission.

We believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect.

South Bay Families Connected is a FREE community resource is available to teens, parents and schools for social and emotional wellness of South Bay youth.  SBFC provides support, resources and education to parents, caregivers and teens to help them reach their full potential to hopefully lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.  
Proud to be working with the Weiss Foundation to provide scholarships to girls and boys in Kenya so that they can go to High School. Our scholars just started high school via boarding school and it is a very big deal! If it wasn’t for outside support, many would be home instead.
