In 1911, Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary, wrote an article entitled “Rational Rotarianism” which can be summarized as follows: “Life in Rotary should be a rational mixture of business, civic activities, and good fellowship.” Rotary Means Business Fellowship was created to encourage Rotarians to network among themselves and to find ways to do business and support each other. An original intent of Rotary was for like-minded business professionals to amplify their fellowship and through association strengthen businesses as well as their communities. Rotarians in the 63 Rotary clubs of Northeast Florida District 6970 continue to build on those core principles put in place over 100 years ago. After all, who would you rather do business with?

Rotary Means Business (RMB) encourages Rotarians to support the success of their fellow Rotarians by doing business with them, and by referring others to them.

We share a common belief that we should honor the roots of our great worldwide organization and support one another in business guided by the core principles of Rotary.

RMB provides a structure to bring business relationships back into Rotary in a way that supplements rather than competes with the service and fellowship aspects of our clubs.  When we are able to provide opportunities to strengthen the businesses represented in Rotary, our members will be stronger, thus creating stronger clubs.  In addition, we encourage Rotarians to bring guest to these meetings, which WILL increase the membership of your individual clubs.

RMB provides a structure to bring business relationships back into Rotary in a way that supplements rather than competes with the service and fellowship aspects of Rotary.

When we are able to provide opportunities to strengthen the businesses represented at Rotary, our members will be stronger creating stronger clubs.

Stronger clubs automatically mean Rotary itself is stronger, The Rotary Foundation is stronger, and therefore we are able to do more to make our communities stronger.

Celebrating and Serving the Community

Angel City Celebration is the largest Rotary service project in the Greater Los Angeles Area.  Led by Rotary Club of Los Angeles (LA5) in partnership with District 5280 and Rotarians from rotary clubs of District, the project started 10 years ago, evolving from a simple toys and food giveaway in a church parking lot to a park-sized event featuring a resource and health fair, book fair and many other activities to improve quality of life for underserved families with young children in South LA.  The mission of the Angel City Celebration is always the same: empower our neighbors in South LA with knowledge of preventive healthcare and provide wellness check-ups; bring joy to the young children with toys and books; and educate parents on how to access after school activities that offer their youth an alternative to gangs. Throughout its 10-year history, though, one the most pleasing by-products of the Celebration are the smiles: smiles of happiness on the faces of 3,000 plus children who receive toys they only dreamed of, smiles of relief on the faces of parents who can now provide their children with these toys as well as gifts of reading and improved health, and smiles of holiday joy on the faces of the 500 volunteers who are essential to making all this happen year after year.

Partnering with both LA City and County Parks Departments, Angel City Celebration has rotated among several parks in South LA. The 2019 Angel City Celebration will be at Jesse Owens Park, 9651 S. Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90047, on Saturday, December 7, 2019.
​

Sign up for the Montrose Christmas Parade.  In Partnership with our club and Sunland-Tujunga Rotary we will utilize the Sunland-Tujunga club vehicle with the huge Rotary emblem that will have christmas lights.  We will want folks as Walkers and need some ideas as to what we should wear etc.
