Arbor Day tradition continues

For over four decades, the Rotary Club of Newport Balboa has given every third grade student in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District a small tree to help introduce the kids to the importance of respecting our environment. That's over 2400 trees ever year, and more than 80,000 trees so far.

This year we also presented a large tree to Eastbluff Elementary School. NMUSD Board Member Karen Yelsey joined President Bill Hossfeld and Rotarians to give the tree to Principal Cheryl Beck and the school's Student Council. The tree was generously donated by West Coast Arborists.

Interested in membership?

The Rotary Club of Newport-Balboa meets weekly on Wednesday evenings. 

Membership is by invitation, and a vocational classification system is used so that no one profession is over-represented in individual Rotary clubs. Since the primary goal of Rotary is service to the community and to the world, having a wide diversity of professionals as club members facilitates our ability to accomplish projects.

If you are interested in being part of Rotary International by joining our Club, we would be happy to talk to you.  Contact us at membership@newportbeachrotary.com and one of the club's directors will contact you.

Our weekly meetings bring together a wide variety of professionals, businesspeople, and community leaders for regular fellowship and interaction.  We also participate in a wide variety of community service projects, with a particular focus on youth and education.  As part of Rotary International, we also raise money to help those in need around the world.  Rotary has led the way in the eradication of Polio, and is now taking an active role in clean water projects and other initiatives around the world.

As a Rotarian, you will become part of the 1.2 Million people around the world who have committed to the idea that by working together we can make the world a far better place. And wherever you travel around the globe, local Rotarians will greet you with open arms.
