Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.

The Countdown has begun.

On 14 December 2011, the Rotary Club of Coto de Caza – Rancho Santa Margarita will be donating hams and commissary gift cards to the families of Marines and Sailors stationed at Camp Pendleton.  Although, the Marines and Sailors are currently serving in Afghanistan and other hostile locations around the world while their families are here.   Together with the Camp Pendleton YMCA who is working very hard to collect toys and other holiday gifts, we are raising $20,000 for to purchase hams and commissary gift cards so these families can calibrate the holidays.

We need your help in this effort.   Please send your tax-deductible check or money order to:
