PROCLAMATION
Rotary Club of Palo Alto
Whereas, the Rotary Club of Palo Alto, who over the last 90 years has devoted the time and
energy of its members to community projects that have benefited the City and its residents; and
Whereas, the Rotary Club of Palo Alto; established the very successful La Comida Program
at Avenidas, improved gateway entrances to the City, assisted in upgrading the gardens at
Gamble Garden, painted building exteriors and interiors for many non-profits such as the Red
Cross, Abilities United and many more, had the vision to implement the Sister City Sculpture
installed in front of City Hall, and contributes over $50,000 per year to local charities; and
Whereas, the City is most recently grateful to the nearly 50 Rotarians and family members

of Greer Park by providing a shady spot for picnickers and visitors to enjoy; and
Whereas, the City of Palo Alto wishes to thank the Rotary Club of Palo Alto and its members
for their personal commitment and pride in the community, for their significant personal efforts,
