Rotary Club Meeting Recap: Empowering Communities Through Clean Water Initiatives and Volunteer Efforts


Today's speaker at our Rotary Club meeting was Luis Bidrogo, who recently joined the Community of Rotary Club International. He shared some exciting updates and initiatives from our organization's recent activities.


Providing Clean Water in Haiti

Firstly, Luis informed us about the remarkable work being done by the Magical Rotary team in providing clean water in Haiti. Their efforts are making a significant impact on the lives of people in Haiti, and they are committed to continuing their work in the region. Additionally, they are planning to collaborate with local projects in Haiti to further support the community.


Volunteer Efforts in Peru

Furthermore, Luis announced that the next group of volunteers will be traveling to Peru. These volunteers, including doctors, will be providing essential medical services to those in need. He encouraged members to consider participating in these volunteer opportunities, emphasizing the importance of giving back to communities in need.


Enhancing Membership Engagement

During his presentation, Luis also emphasized the importance of increasing membership engagement, particularly among younger individuals. He encouraged current members to actively participate in club activities and events, and he urged everyone to invite potential new members to join our club.


Introducing the IGNITE Mobile App

Lastly, Luis introduced us to the IGNITE Mobile App, a platform that allows members to connect with each other and engage in discussions within the membership community. This app provides a convenient way for members to stay connected and informed about club activities and initiatives.

Horizon West Rotary donates $2,500 to Matthew’s Hope Ministries

April 14, 2025
At Horizon West Rotary, one of our core values is supporting those who are making a real difference in the lives of others. We believe that when we come together as a community, we can uplift and empower those who need it most—and the organizations that serve them. One group that truly embodies this spirit is Matthew’s Hope Ministries . When the temperatures dropped earlier this year and many in our area were struggling to stay warm and safe, Matthew’s Hope didn’t hesitate. They stepped up in a big way, providing shelter, supplies, and support to over 100 individuals experiencing homelessness. Their dedication and compassion during such a critical time was nothing short of inspiring. As a club, we knew we wanted to do more than just say “thank you.” We wanted to take action. That’s why we’re proud to stand beside Matthew’s Hope Ministries and lend our support to the amazing work they do every day. When people care enough to make a difference, it deserves to be recognized—and reinforced by a community that believes in them. Together, we’re building a stronger, more compassionate Horizon West.
