It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the installment of Karen Lujan as our incoming Rotary President for the 2023-24 Rotary year on July 1, 2023.  As we close out our first 100 years of service to the Monrovia community and prepare for the next chapter in our Rotary journey, we are filled with anticipation for the leadership and positive impact that Karen will bring to our organization.

Here is what Karen had to say regarding the upcoming Rotary year:

I hope to continue building on the momentum that we grew last year with our Centennial year.  We are a service club first and foremost and I want to find meaningful projects in our community and abroad where we can help those in need.  I strongly believe in the power of teamwork and the collective strength that comes from people coming together toward a common goal of helping others . Please consider joining us, you can help make a difference, at home and around the world.
