Strong local schools matter to everyone:

1. They protect property values

2. They shape responsible citizens

3. They strengthen the local economy

4. They unite the community

5. They invest in our future

Your donations to MEF directly benefit every one of the more than 3,200 students in Moraga’s public schools and make Moraga a more desirable place to live for all of us. Together, we make a difference! Visit moragaeducation.org to donate or for more information.

Staying Connected in Moraga with the Lamorinda Spirit Van

The Lamorinda Spirit Van loves helping Moraga’s older adults stay active, independent, and connected—especially during the holidays.

For nearly 20 years, we’ve provided safe, friendly rides for seniors to medical appointments, grocery stores, social events, hair and nail salons, and lunches at Café Costa.

This holiday season, please consider making a year-end, tax-deductible donation to help your Moraga neighbors like Anastasia (81), Judy (84), and Pat (97), continue to get where they need to go. Every ride helps an older adult remain independent and engaged in our community.

To donate by check, please make it payable to City of Lafayette, write “Lamorinda Spirit” on the memo line, and mail to: Lamorinda Spirit Lafayette Community Center 500 St. Mary’s Road Lafayette, CA 94549

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.
