The 2019-20 Rotary Year may bring mixed emotions, what with the outbreak of a global pandemic and related heartaches and disruptions. Yet, it is helpful to look back and appreciate the positives. Last September, our Rotary Club of Chula Vista Eastlake received word that we received a Rotary Gold Citation.The Rotary Citation is a significant award that honors clubs whose leaders and members show commitment to success. Clubs that achieve the goals required to earn the Rotary Citation are strengthening Rotary and shaping our future.

Marta Knight, District Governor 2019-2020, Rotary International D-5340, relayed her congratulations to our Club for our accomplishments during the 2019-2020 Rotary year. “Your achievements earned your club the 2019-2020 Gold Citation, the most significant award a Rotary Club can achieve,” Knight said, via email. “During a year that was challenging for many Rotarians around the world, your club demonstrated a commitment to achieve their goals, which ultimately helps strengthen Rotary and shape your future.”
We could not be prouder of our members and the activities we undertook in that most challenging of years. Our collective commitment during that period set the tone for the 2020-21 Rotary Year. We continued meeting, whether virtually or in hybrid format. And to the best of our abilities, we continued serving the needs of our community and even beyond throughout the pandemic.
