3rd Annual “Santa Clothes” Event
The third annual Rotary Club of Monrovia Santa Clothes Event took place on December 14, 2014 at the Kohl’s in Monrovia. 50+ children ages 4 to 12 went shopping for school-appropriate clothing, shoes and backpacks. This year, due to urgent pleas from Rotary Club members, each child was also allowed one small toy item. The children are from client families being served by The Santa Anita Family Services. The children will be paired with Interact students from Monrovia High School for their shopping adventures. (Interact is a teen service club sponsored by Rotary Clubs) Adult Rotarians, members of Kaizen Martial Arts studio and employees of the Monrovia branch of Wells Fargo will also be on hand … but will probably lack the cool factor of the high school students!
Each child spent (with guidance) $125. With the cooperation of Kohl’s, that translated into some mighty full and heavy bags of goodies. The event generally results in about $1000 in Kohl’s Cash Back which is donated to the Foothill Unity Center for their holiday food/gift donation event. More photos appear on the Monrovia Rotary Club Facebook Page.
Promote Your Business, Have Fun, and Help Your Community All at the Same Time!
Howdy Cowboys and Cowgirls!! It’s time for the Second Annual Monrovia Rotary Club Old West BBQ & Casino Night. The event is September 7, 2013 from 6-9 at the Monrovia Community Center. It is a fun filled evening for everyone to come together and raise money.
As members of the Rotary Club of Monrovia, we are dedicated to helping our local community through volunteer service, fundraising and providing assistance to those in need. However, we need your help. It is only with the financial support of our community that Rotary is able to consistently accomplish significant projects including, but not limited to: providing thousands of dollars each year in college and vocational scholarships, sponsoring the Santa Clothes program (providing local at need families with school clothes for the upcoming year), and supporting Monrovia Reads, School Tutoring, the Foothill Unity Center, the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA, and many more.
This event is a great way to network and meet a larger portion of the community. Last year 150 people attended and we are working hard to have higher participation this year. There are 3 great ways to promote your business through this event.
