Rotary International’s mission is to “provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.” The Poway-Scripps Rotary Club has participated in holiday gift drives for families battling cancer, city cleanups, Ronald McDonald dinners, collection drives for veterans, and countless philanthropic endeavors. I have been a member of Rotary for 12 years and currently serve as the secretary for the Poway-Scripps branch. As secretary, I help the club run smoothly and effectively by identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
