We understand that plans change, but in order for our programs to run smoothly, we need ample time to prepare. By finalizing enrollments 14 days in advance, we can ensure that our staff, equipment, and materials are all in place to create the best experience for everyone.

Rotary Club of Moraga Our Club is celebrating its 58th year serving the community of Moraga. We support many excellent community organizations such as

MEF, Food Bank, Moraga Citizens Network, Chamber of Commerce, and Moraga schools, and participate in some international projects as well. In the 1980s, Rotary International initiated and continues to guide “Polio Plus”, the worldwide effort to eradicate polio, which is close to success. We built the All-Access Playground at the Moraga Commons, and last year, our donations helped fund the Moraga Commons picnic area improvements. We have awarded scholarships to some Campolindo seniors, we sponsor Scout Troop 246 in Moraga, six Odyssey of the Mind teams from Moraga schools, and we sponsor and advise the Interact Club at Campolindo. We continue to support the water and library project in Goma in Congo, Africa, and have completed the community center project in Sierra Leone, Africa. We have renewed the popular Field Day, a track & field meet for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in Moraga schools, and have participated in Moraga Community Service Day. We will hold two e-waste/shredding collection events again this year at the Moraga Shopping Center in our 16th year of providing this vital community service.

Moraga Rotary meets for a noon lunch at La Finestra on the 1st Tuesday of the month and again on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 5:00pm at Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church.

A social/quiz hour, open to all, occurs on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 4:00pm at Canyon Club.
