Meets: Third Thursday of each month at 11:15 before regular club meeting
 
Purpose
 
Our Community Services Committee serves the needs of the Del Mar and Solana Beach communities both with labor on Rotary work-day projects and with financial support of several nonprofit agencies that serve the needs of the less fortunate.  All members of the Club are encouraged to bring new opportunities of need to be addressed by the Committee.  Each member of the Committee is also encouraged to take ownership of a program.
