Service Above Self

The Tustin-Santa Ana Rotary Club is part of Rotary International, a global network of 1.4 million leaders and community members dedicated to creating lasting, positive change. Locally, the Tustin-Santa Ana chapter has a long-standing tradition of serving the community through impactful service projects, student scholarships, youth leadership programs, and support for local nonprofits and small businesses.

The annual Lobster Festival is a beloved community event hosted by the Rotary Club. Volunteering alongside the Tustin High School Football team, members helped set up and prepare for a night of delicious food, fundraising, and fellowship. The event brings residents together and raises support for Rotary’s ongoing local initiatives.

The Dollars for Scholars Derby, organized by the Tustin Public Schools Foundation, is a festive fundraiser dedicated to providing scholarships for students in the Tustin Unified School District. Attending the Derby was a celebration of education, community support, and ensuring every student has access to opportunities for higher learning.

Induction into the club in 2025 was marked by a warm welcome from members and a heartfelt pinning ceremony, sponsored by longtime Rotarian Laurie Abelove and supported by Tammis.
