Greetings!
 
If you are someone who has a desire to do something positive to change lives while at the same time have fun and fellowship with others, you have come to the right place.

Globally, with over 1.2 million members and 34,000 clubs, Rotary by far is the largest humanitarian organization in the world.  We are a network of business owners, professionals and/or community leaders who are able and willing to give back with our time, talents and treasure.  With such fire power, Rotary is impacting countless lives in severely impoverished areas all over the globe.  Through selfless acts of service, Rotarians are providing clean water, combating hunger, improving health and sanitation, eradicating the dreadful disease of polio from the face of the earth, and ultimately bringing peace to the world.  For more information on Rotary International, please visit www.rotary.org .

Locally, the Rotary Club of Long Beach was established over 90 years ago and has grown to be a powerhouse in the community, the hub of Long Beach.  With our 300 members, we are blessed to be one of the largest 50 clubs out the 34,000 clubs in the world.  Within our membership, you will find generous individuals who are focused on serving our youth, brightening their future and helping the Long Beach community to be a better place. 

We are a "by invitation only" club, i.e. one must be invited to lunch and be sponsored by two club members to join.  To discover what it means to “Serve Above Self”, we encourage you to contact our office at 562-436-8181 or e-mail Rotary@RotaryLongBeach.org to learn more about Rotary and our club.  The saying is so true: “It is more blessed to give than to receive”.

Yours in service,

Gregory Haeseler, President #96, 2012-2013
