Welcome To The Hayward Rotary Club!
Hayward Rotary Club is a non-partisan, non-political service organization. Our members are leaders in business, education, government, nonprofit, and community service. Rotarians come from many diverse walks of life, and we are united in giving back to our community. Hayward Rotary Club and Foundation have contributed millions of dollars of support to vital projects and programs that build a stronger future for Hayward and the world. Do you want to give back to the community in an organized way, in the company of distinguished community leaders? Do you have what it takes to become a Hayward Rotary Club member? Find out by attending our weekly luncheons, by talking to Rotarians, and by browsing this website. Learn more
 
The director of Hayward Promise Neighborhoods, Edgar Chavez, will address the Hayward Rotary Club at its luncheon meeting April 21 at 1074 B St. The U.S. Department of Education grant, implemented in 2011, created a partnership of local educational institutions, government agencies and nonprofits to support residents in the Jackson Triangle. Neighborhoods in South Hayward and downtown have been added to provide educational and social support for those communities.
 
The original grant of $5 million was augmented in 2023 by $6 million annually for a total of $30 million until 2027.
 
“A child's Zip Code or census tract should not define their socio-economic life outcomes," the director said. "Supporting children from cradle to career will take a village of people and institutions to make this a reality.” 

 

Hayward Rotary Club operates the food and drink concessions during the three days of the Rowell Ranch Rodeo. All the proceeds from our food and drink sales go toward our charitable work in the Hayward community -- specifically, by giving Community Grants to local nonprofit organizations each year. Volunteers are needed to help us sling burgers, fries, and soft drinks to the thirsty crowd! Join in the fun, get to know Rotary Club members as you serve, and experience some of our community's western heritage watching real cowboys "at work and play"; all while we raise money for great causes.

Alameda County's ambulance service begins at Falck Northern California on Industrial Boulevard in Hayward, where David Torres is managing director. He will be the featured presenter when the Hayward Rotary Club meets for lunch at noon on Monday, April 14, at 1074 B St. The company began providing 911 emergency response in 2019, providing ambulance services, medical transportation and patient logistics to serve the region of 1.6 million residents with cutting edge clinical and operational technology.

New Hayward City Manager Ana Alvarez will be the featured speaker when the Hayward Rotary Club meets for lunch at noon Monday, April 7 at 1074 B St. 

Alvarez began in her new position Jan. 9 and most recently served as deputy general manager for East Bay Regional Park District, the largest urban park district in the country with its own police and fire departments and 73 parks spanning nearly 127,000 acres in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. 

As city manager, Alvarez serves as the City of Hayward’s chief executive with primary responsibility for overall administration of Hayward’s 900-employee municipal government, oversight of departmental leadership, and implementation of city council priorities, policy direction and legislation.

"She came to the United States, earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees and has amassed nearly 30 years of experience in municipal government and special district administration," Rotarian and Hayward mayor Mark Salinas said. 

 

 

There is a wonderful article in the March 28 Cal State East Bay Pioneer newspaper about the Hayward Rotary Club by editor Lisbeth Godoy. A favorite quote: “The Hayward Rotary Club is made up of devoted working and retired individuals from the business, public service, and community sectors of the city, with each playing a vital role in driving positive change. Together, these individuals promote the impact of humanitarian service, ensuring that the Rotary Club’s values continue to shape and uplift the Hayward community.” Check out the full story here: https://thepioneeronline.com/48738/metro/what-is-haywards-rotary-club/
 
Several members of the Hayward Rotary Club will give short presentations on "What Cesar Chavez Means to Me" at the March 31 lunch meeting of the organization at 1074 B St.
 
March 31 is Cesar Chavez Day in California, honoring the legacy of the Mexican-American human rights activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers in 1962.

 

 

In 2014, former U.S. President Barack Obama declared March 31 a national holiday while California recognizes it as a state holiday. In 1994, a year after his death, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Hayward has a middle school named for him.

The South Hayward Parish Food Pantry will receive a Rotary community grant. 
 
Representatives of 17 Hayward area nonprofit organizations have been invited to be on hand when the Hayward Rotary Club meets May 24 to distribute more than $40,000 from its annual Community Grants Program. A club committee, headed by Robert Carlson, has completed extensive evaluation of two dozen applications for this year's funding opportunity. The club has distributed more than $1 million through its grants programs since 2000.
