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.

Robert Curry

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.

Where else can you get all this but by being a Rotarian.
