Welcome to Wilshire Rotary Club of Los Angeles! Rotary is part of a global network of over a million friends, neighbors, leaders, and problem solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change. I am honored to lead a club built on service, leadership, friendship, and a genuine commitment to making our communities stronger.
Rotary is a place where professionals, business leaders, and community members come together to create meaningful change while building lifelong relationships. We are a vibrant service club where members feel connected, inspired, and empowered to make a difference. By growing our club and engaging new voices, ideas, and perspectives, we will continue expanding our impact throughout Wilshire and beyond.
Our strength has always been found in action. Whether we are mentoring youth, supporting and responding to community needs, or partnering with organizations that share our values, Wilshire Rotary is committed to doing good work that leaves a lasting impact. We are also excited to further activate and support our growing Interact Clubs, empowering high school and middle school students to become leaders in service alongside their peers. Through the mentorship of our Rotarians, these young leaders are learning that service isn't just something you do, it's a way of life that strengthens communities and shapes future generations.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference, expand your network, develop as a leader, or simply belong to a group of people who care deeply about their community, I invite you to learn more about Wilshire Rotary. Let's connect!
"Do Good, Have Fun." Join us!

Last week at Canter's Breakfast Meeting
You missed out if you didn't attend last week's breakfast meeting which featured a roundtable discussion and meet and greet with the LAPD Senior Lead Officers (SLO). The Community Relations Officer, Sgt. A.J. Kirby oversees the Senior Leads. Kirby introduced SLO Supervisor, Sgt. Wesley Sarno who explained the role of the Senior Lead Officers. Nine of the ten SLOs attended, introduced themselves and spoke briefly about the challenges they face in their respective areas. It was agreed that partnering with Wilshire Rotary made a lot of sense in order to address some of those challenges. Special interest was shown in working together to promote peace and help resolve conflict within our community.
