Welcome to 2023 Horizon West Rotary

To kick off the new year, we took advantage of less items to cover on the agenda to go around the room to get to know each other, how long we've been involved in Rotary and a little about our family, career and hobbies.


HAPPY DOLLARS

Happy dollars always kick us off on a positive note as members and guests share something they are currently happy about! Today $51 was collected to go towards the Million Meals effort.


ROTARY HAPPY HOUR • LAST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH


To further our club's focus on community service, networking & fellowship, save the last Wednesday of every month from 5:30 - 7:30pm on your calendar now!


Next Event: Wed Jan 25th - at New York Beer Project




MAXEY ELEMENTARY STUDENT MENTORS NEEDED


Please contact Francisco to get signed up to be a mentor to one our our Maxey Elementary children that are in need of an adult mentor. Half hour a week is all it takes to make a huge difference in the children's lives and our members that have been doing this for several years share over and over how much it actually has enriched their life as well.


Definitely time worth committing to.

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.
