What We Do

            The Rotary Club of Menlo Park provides an opportunity for people to work together to enhance the lives of children, the elderly, and other underserved members of our local communities. Our members are men and women living and working in Menlo Park, Atherton, and surrounding communities.  Additionally, we also work with Rotary International to help people around the world who are struggling for survival.

            However, it is not all work, we have a fun time socializing.  Many of us also support each other's careers, adding to our networking ability.
