THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR WEBSITE!
We are excited to share with you about our club and invite you to attend one of our upcoming dinner meetings. We are NOT your typical Rotary Club! We have only two meetings each month. Our dinner meeting is our main meeting and takes place from 6 PM to 8 PM on the second Thursday of each month at the fabulous Greg Norman Clubhouse at PGA West (81405 Kingston Heath, La Quinta, CA. 92253). Chef's Herve and Miguel prepare an incredible meal for us each month that is served buffet style with a private bar and attentive staff. We are extremely spouse/significant other friendly and most attend our meetings! Our monthly programs include amazing and informative speakers, Rotary news and club announcements, Community Service reports and opportunities to serve... but most of all, great comradery and FUN! Dinner is $55 per plate, all are welcome, but reservations are required.

The Rotary Club of La Quinta was originally formed in 1985 and received its charter in June 1987, and our club has a rich history of both community service and participation in global projects to help those in need around the world. We feel that being part of Rotary gives us the opportunity, not the obligation, to be part of something greater than ourselves and that together we can make a positive difference in the world.
Our Club has a strong focus on the youth in our community. We sponsor an Interact Club at La Quinta High School, send high school students (juniors) each year to attend RYLA Camp, Middle School students (7th graders) to PRYDE camp, present Service Above Self Awards to outstanding students and community members, and award thousands of dollars in scholarships each year to deserving high school seniors who plan to attend college following graduation. (Students can find our scholarship application by clicking the Scholarship Application tab above in the top menu bar.)
By creating strategic partnerships with other local non-profit organizations such as the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, Mama's House and Bridges2Hope, we are able to conduct different monthly "drives" each month where members can donate clothing, food items, diapers, toiletries, toys, etc. and create opportunities (again, not obligations) for members to volunteer to help out, serve meals, and pack food and hygiene items for distribution throughout our community via these organizations.
Our once monthly dinner meeting format allows even the busiest individuals to become an active member of Rotary and enjoy all the benefits that Rotary provides! To learn more about our club, what our meetings are like, what great things we are involved in, please check out the monthly newsletters by clicking on the "DOCUMENTS" tab in the top menu bar. Please feel free to contact, Bruce Cathcart, at Bycathcart63@gmail.com with any questions. Make a difference... become a Rotarian! We hope to see you at one of our upcoming meetings!
