Testimonials

Rotaract Long Beach has been an amazing experience for everyone who has been involved. Here is what people say about us…

“My education and business networking started in Long Beach and I wanted to get involved with an organization that could introduce me to new professionals. I knew Rotary had a lot to offer, and was pleasantly surprised when I found Rotaract had the same passion for service and professionalism. Not only have I already started working on projects with people in Rotaract, I have also developed solid friendships from the business and social events. If you’re looking to connect with business-minded people with a heart for serving others, you have found the perfect place.” Geoff K., Member

“It was through a meeting that I found myself at a round table discussion with like-minded individuals analyzing new media tactics. The person sitting next to me happened to be the guest speaker of the night and at the exchange of a business card an instant bond was formed. Due to this experience, I am looking forward to becoming permanently involved with Rotaract Long Beach.” Matt E., Member

“After a long rainy day, and despite having to walk in muddy roads, I realized my trip to Caborca, Mexico was not in vain. It was extremely rewarding to know that I helped make a difference in the lives of many children, with a simple polio vaccine. Visiting the small towns in Mexico to help children live healthier lives was something I will never forget.” Dennise L., Member

“Serving dinner to the homeless at the Long Beach Rescue Mission helped me recognize the gifts life has to offer.  After a long day at work, it was so refreshing to be surrounded by energetic volunteers whose main goal was to serve those who may not be able to serve themselves.” Katie G., Member

“Meeting a diverse group of people with a passion for service through community networking pleases me deeply. Traveling to the UK and meeting two hundred Rotaractors from over sixty countries has provided me great memories, passion for Rotary, hope and friends across the world.”  Nate T., Member

“Through Rotaract, I have been able to meet like-minded people who are in the same stage of life as me. I truly believe that the people you surround yourself with shape you as a person. The difference I have found between Rotaractors and people outside the organization is that there is absolutely nothing average about any Rotaractor I have met since I became involved in the organization. All members are ambitious, inspiring go-getters and change-makers. Rotaract has been the perfect transition for me into the ‘real world.’ Thanks, Rotaract!” Kristin D., Advocate

“My greatest passion is community development and service. It was through friends from church that I learned about Rotaract Long Beach. I went to a meeting and instantly felt the connection amongst the diverse group and their similar interests in serving and personal development. I have made great friends, networked with city leaders, and have been involved with several service projects. I feel valued and know that I am making a big impact in my community.” Monica S., Member

“Cleaning up the trash and chatting with friends at the Rotary Centennial Park are my morning exercises on weekends. For me, it’s all about grassroots — literally!” Ege E., Member
