Our Rotary members joined with almost 500 other Rotarians, Interact students, and guests to put a flag on each of the headstones in Miramar National Cemetery for Memorial day.
Our G.H.S. Interact Club had one officer graduate this year. She was a Club member for four years and an officer for two years. She served on the District 5340 Interact Council in 2025-2026. She was awarded $400 for her service.
Three students from Patrick Henry High School each recognition for their outstanding accomplishments.  They are now eligible for $3,500 each when they matriculate for further education.  These students were interviewed and selected as ninth graders. We mentored them and met with them twice a year.
Our Club members joined with about 40 members from all six East County Rotary Clubs to assemble little library boxes. Each of the six Clubs determined how many boxes they would assemble and where the boxes would be placed.  La Mesa Rotary made two boxes. One for Dale Elementary school and one for Avandale Elementary school.

On Sunday, Oct. 26,2025 Grossmont High School Interact students walked in Balboa Park to promote eradication of Polio.  There were 40 other Rotarians, Rotaractors , and friends walking also.  With their bright red shirts and happy smiles they hoped hoped to make an impact.  After the walk everyone enjoyed burritos. Thank you to District 5340 Rotaractors for organizing this walk.
Our Rotary Club donated $1,000 to the La Mesa Police Department to assist with their one week youth leadership camp. These students show potential for being our next community leaders. The young adults are challenged both physically and mentally to work as both individually and with others.
