A fun, volunteer-led service group making an impact at home and abroad.
A Message from Our President
It’s an honor to serve as President of the Coastal Encinitas Rotary Club this year. Our club is made up of passionate, service-driven individuals who care deeply about our local and global communities. My goal is to build on that strong foundation by increasing hands-on involvement, deepening community partnerships, and continuing to make service fun and meaningful for our members.
Whether we’re supporting local students, raising funds for cancer patients, or helping with international projects, we do it with heart, humor, and dedication. I look forward to a year of impact, connection, and maybe a few surprises along the way.
Let’s make it a great one!
Warm regards,
Ralph Hirschmann
President, Coastal Encinitas Rotary Club
