This Thanksgiving, we pause to acknowledge the people who give San Juan Capistrano Rotary its heart. To every member who shows up, leads, lifts, and quietly makes good things happen—you are the reason our community trusts us, and the reason hope grows here. Your dedication turns service into something meaningful, real and lasting.
To our sponsors and partners, thank you for believing in what we do and choosing to stand with us. Your support fuels the projects that change lives—from local and Marine families who need a hand to students discovering their future. You make it possible for us to reach further, help faster, and dream bigger.
To our Interactors, Rotaractors, helpers, and volunteers, we are grateful for your energy, spirit, and courage to step forward. You remind us that service is generational—that every hour, every idea, and every act of kindness builds a better tomorrow. Our community is stronger, and remain stronger, because of you.
As we gather with family and friends, we also hold gratitude for this shared purpose of Service Above Self that connects us. May the season bring you peace, warmth, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from knowing your efforts make a genuine difference in our community and around the world.
From all of us at the San Juan Capistrano Rotary Club—thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you, Ray, for the nice sentiment. Hope that 2025 was good to you!
Happy Thanksgiving Ray, nicely stated! We have a new granddaughter among so many other people and blessings (you included!) for which to be thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Ray. You are awesome.
