Rotary is a service-based organization with one simple motto: Service Above Self. First responders live that motto every single day. While others sleep, they work. While others play, they save lives. Hemet Rotary felt that the least they could do was show up and show their support for the daily sacrifice our first responders make. Hemet Rotary is truly thankful for these dedicated men and women.

At 6 a.m. the morning of 9/11, members of the Rotary Club of Hemet teamed up with community leaders and met outside the Hemet Police Department to bring the officers coffee, donuts, and thank you cards. A prayer of safety and protection was said for the officers present and Hemet P.D.’s Chief Pust thanked Rotary for bringing positivity and unity during a tumultuous time. After that, the group visited four of the five Hemet Fire Stations to bring them the same gratitude, coffee, donuts, and cards.

Rotary is so grateful for the daily service of our community first responders. This was a day of remembering. This was a day to honor them.

On Friday Aug 7, the Hemet Rotary and San Jacinto Lions teamed up to CA$H MOB local restaurant, El Patron. Thirty members of the two clubs met for dinner. They plan to CA$H MOB local businesses through out the coming months.

Rotary president Dan Cortese said, “The service clubs in this valley are passionate about our local small businesses, and anything we can do to help during this crisis, we are willing to do it! We will make every effort to keep our businesses alive and help our community thrive”.

They want to support local businesses with a CA$H MOB, which means on a given day and time everyone comes to that business to buy something.

Hemet Rotary will post their next event on Facebook @HemetRotary and everyone is welcome to become part of the CA$H MOB. If you can’t make the event, go on your own and support the business.

Rotary is an international service club that believes “Service Above Self”. Previously they were meeting at 5:30 at the DVAC building on Harvard. Because of COVID-19 they are now meeting virtually on Zoom. They have a different speaker every week. Anyone is welcome to join the meeting. Again, check out their Facebook @HemetRotary to join the meeting.
