About Us

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Livermore Valley! Each Tuesday morning, we continue the tradition that began on May 31, 1985, when our first club president, Bill Webster, called the meeting to order and the fellowship began. We enjoy coming together as a group each week. At our meetings, and beyond through our committees, we serve our community while also developing lasting friendships with one another.

Please join us on Tuesday mornings at 8:15 in the Horticulture Building, 3300, at Las Positas College, 3000 Campus Hill Drive, Livermore. You are invited to email Bennie LeBourvellec for more information.

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Livermore Valley! We are a unique community that embraces all individuals seeking enriching experiences through meaningful contributions to society alongside like-minded companions.

My personal journey with Rotary started six years ago while working in Human Resource for a large organization. I needed to find a community where I could build camaraderie and enjoy being around a fun group of people while being myself. Attending a few meetings introduced me to kind-hearted Rotarians who eventually became cherished friends. As my connections within Rotary grew, I recognized its positive influence on both my personal and professional development. Engaging in activities such as distributing Thanksgiving turkeys to the less fortunate, connecting with Veterans during the annual Christmas Party at the Veterans Hospital, and participating in various charitable initiatives brought me immense joy.

Being a member of an organization that initiates meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance, along with lighthearted elements like the joke of the day and song of the day, initially felt unfamiliar. But I grew to appreciate its emphasis on community and service above self.

Regardless of your current life circumstances, I encourage you to explore the enriching opportunities Rotary has to offer.

Be prepared to meet people who ask themselves these four questions when interacting with others:

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and better Friendships?
Will it Beneficial to all concerned?

We Rotarians call this The Four-Way Test and hold each other accountable, accordingly.

This is the Magic of Rotary!

2024-25 Club President

Our club is a member of Rotary International, and partners with over 35,000 clubs in over 200 countries around the world to serve others and make our world a better place. We work closely with our sister club, The Rotary Club of Livermore, to make a positive difference in our local community.

We do bring our own personality to our role as members of Rotary International. We invite you to join us for a meeting, a social, or a community service project to see what's special about our club. We serve others and we have fun doing so!

We are united by our common desire to improve lives in our community and around the world. We host fundraising events throughout the year so that we can award grants to local organizations that extend our work into our community. We support our local school district, including sponsoring the annual Richard D. King Speech Contest and supporting the Every 15 Minutes safety awareness program. We sponsor and mentor the Granada High School Interact Club, we make it possible for students to participate in the annual RYLA Conference, and we honor an outstanding Student of the Month at our meetings during the school year.

Regionally, we partner with other clubs in District 5170 to support COVID relief, wildfire relief, and help our unsheltered community members.

Internationally, we are committed to supporting the Wheelchair Foundation that donates wheelchairs to those in need in Mexico. We have partnered with Rotary Clubs in Morelia, Mexico to bring Ecocina Clean Stoves into homes and to provide dental equipment so that local residents could be provided with dental care.

We join with the Avenues of Service of Rotary International to eradicate polio, develop leaders, and advance humanitarian efforts for peace and health.

One of the highlights of our meetings is the opportunity to share milestones, moments, and stories while also supporting our Rotary causes. Thanks to Past President, Fred Quarterman, we forego "fines" and, instead, invite members to volunteer to donate $10 to have the opportunity to share their news.

We have learned a lot about one another during the 10-Spot, and in the process we have donated over $42,000 since this tradition began in 2016.
