Love from Rotary Abounds
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.
Every day since the brutal Russian invasion of the Ukraine, John Hewko has connected with those under attack.
Hewko, the General Secretary and CEO of Evanston-based Rotary International, takes out his cell phone and calls people he knows in Kyiv and in other parts of that nation, friends and family.
Hewko understands Ukraine and the current plight of Ukrainians far better than do most Americans.
His parents escaped from Ukraine during World War II. Hewko later went to there to work and, as a young lawyer in 1991, helped write the first draft of Ukraine’s post-Soviet constitution.

Heartbroken to lose Mike Welch, we commemorate his fascinating life and commitment to Service.
Mike joined Hermosa Beach Rotary in 2012 after attending a meeting to honor his son Andrew, who was named Student of the Month. He was so very proud of his family and his community. Mike had many talents and served in a variety of capacities to manage the building rentals in addition to holding the position of both secretary and treasurer for several years.
Mike was an active board member for many years with the Vietnam Veterans Association Chapter 53 and in addition was the collaborator for our club with other local Vietnam Veterans who created and maintained the Memorial at the Hermosa Beach Community Center.
A frequent speaker, Mike shared stories about his worldwide travels, including family treks to Australia, moreover his remarkable career with the U.S. Air Force CMSgt (ret) Mike M. Welch, and Boeing, as a “pathfinder loadmaster”. C-17s have played a vital role of delivering military personnel and equipment and often critical support to deliver humanitarian aid, especially in dire situations like the 2012 Haiti earthquake.
Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Scouting program (BSA). A Scout who attains this rank is called an Eagle Scout or Eagle. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than two million young people, however, nationally, only about 7% achieve it.
On March 30 we will meet four honorees from Hermosa Beach Troop 860 who have achieved this remarkable achievement. See more detail below.
District Leader, James Jackman, enlightened the Hermosa Beach club about current activities in Rotary's Youth Exchange program. RYE provides 15 to 18 year olds the opportunity to discover another culture by spending time overseas. In the long term exchange program, the students live for a full year in another country hosted by Rotarians. They experience a new culture, learn a new language and make lifelong friends. The short term program gives students the opportunity to spend 3 months during the summer overseas.
Rotarians celebrate World Rotary Day in honor of the 116th anniversary of the first Rotary meeting on February 23, 1905.
