Covina Rotary Club

Tony Nevarez

Past President 2017-18

Why Rotary?

I joined Rotary because it gave me the opportunity to be involved with community and international projects. Making a difference in the world and service above self is a motto that I live by. Rotary allows me to not only make a difference in the world but also to share my skills, have fun, make new friends and be part of something amazing. Where else can you get all this but by being a Rotarian.

Rotary allows me to serve the people of my community in ways that I cannot do by myself. Giving back to the area that you I grew up in makes it an even greater pleasure. Another great benefit is working side by side with great people that are true leaders and citizens of the community.

Thomas A. Patronite

Secretary

Why Rotary?

My Rotary service is both fulfilling and fun. On becoming a Covina Rotarian in 1980 I loved the interchange of ideas and my learning from its mature members. Today, I enjoy the same experiences, but from its young members. For certain, Rotary moves at a faster pace now - and I’m enjoying the ride.
