It is an honor to serve as the president of the Rotary Club of Moraga for the Rotary year 2010-2011.

In the past two years, we have been chosen as the medium sized “club of the year “in our district, which is a tribute to our past accomplishments.  However, we look forward to the future and how we can better serve our community and, on a larger scale, reach out to the world community.

The 2010-2011 Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith has chosen as his theme “Building Communities-Bridging Continents” which fundamentally describes the meaning of Rotary.

Both our community and our planet face many challenges. Rotarians around the world are involved in projects to provide clean water, literacy education, reduce poverty and hunger, and meet critical health care needs.  After a 25 year effort, Rotarians are on the verge of finally eradicating Polio from the face of the earth.

This year Moraga Rotary will continue to support the youth of Moraga with dictionaries for every 3rd grader, scholarships at Campolindo High School and St. Mary’s College, scholarships to our leadership programs at Camp Royal and Camp Venture, and our annual Field Day Track Meet.  We will also provide financial support for the Moraga Educational Foundation and Moraga’s Odyssey of the Mind teams.  And we are proud to sponsor the St. Mary’s Rotaract and Campolindo Interact clubs.

Internationally we will continue to provide prosthetic hands, wheel chairs, financial support for polio eradication and disaster relief around the world.

Moraga Rotary is made up of men and women of different ages, vocations, professions and talents, all of whom really work to make a difference in the community and the world.

Tony Schoemehl,  President 2010 - 2011, Rotary Club of Moraga
