The last District Breakfast of the Rotary year is on March 21! This is a very special breakfast that will be led by the future generation of Rotarians. Speaking of future Rotarians, we have a discounted ticket price for Interactors and Rotaractors.
They sold out at the last two breakfasts—don't get left in the dust for the final breakfast! We can't guarantee we will have room for walk-ins, so reserve your tickets/table today if you haven't already!
New to Rotary? Curious how Rotary really works? Ready to get more involved?
Join Rotarians from across the district for an interactive, in-person Rotary 101 Workshop designed to inform, connect, and inspire.
This is not a lecture—it’s a hands-on, relationship-driven experience. Through guided conversations with District Leaders and small-group activities, you’ll learn Rotary essentials, connect with fellow Rotarians, discover service and leadership opportunities, and leave energized and confident about your Rotary journey.
Highly recommended for new members and valuable for any Rotarian looking to re-engage.
Recently, John Schuricht helped Richard Foss, Executive Director of Collage-A Place for Art and Culture, with a drop off of donated instruments to the Banning High School band. A donation from our PVP Rotary Foundation made this possible!

Nancy was a beloved member of our club from 2007 to 2016.
Cindy Ingraham Keefer is the artist who created the Celestial Globe, a massive and monumental bronze sculpture installed permanently in Gravity's Stairway at Griffith Observatory in January 2026. The 800-pound bronze sphere that is over 4 foot in diameter draws inspiration from the Farnese Atlas, a second-century Roman sculpture, and features 46 classical constellations cast in bronze. The work offers visitors a striking encounter with the ancient origins of astronomy and the enduring human effort to understand the sky, and rotates to allow viewers to observe how the ancients imagined the heavens turning in Atlas's grip. Realized in close collaboration with structural engineers, fabricators, and Observatory leadership, the Celestial Globe stands as Griffith Observatory's first major new exhibit in nearly two decades and will be experienced by more than 1.5 million annual visitors.
Cindy has been working in bronze for over 15 years working upon commission creating mostly dedication sculptures. She is a multi-disciplinary artist who also supports fashion designers in downtown LA. The Portuguese Bend is her home that she shares with her 2 doodles, dozens of peacocks and her husband, Tom Keefer.
