Covina Rotary Club

Tony Nevarez

President

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.

Robert Vargas

Why Rotary?

After attending some meetings and getting to see what Rotary and Rotarians do for their communities and the world. I knew I could make a difference in others’ lives. I have always wanted to help those less fortunate and I believe that through Rotary this is possible.

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.
