Welcome
Hello — and welcome to the Palo Alto/University Rotary Club (PAURotary.com).
Known informally as the Friday Morning Mavericks, we pride ourselves on doing things a little differently. Our membership—diverse community leaders and business owners—operates under Rotary’s “Service Above Self” motto and the rigor of the Four-Way Test. A quick tour of our website will give you the full picture.
With PAUR, you will:
-
Drive measurable change in our community
-
Make new friends and expand your professional network
-
Create local & global impact through service
Rotarians often say, "People join for the service and stay for the fellowship.” You truly have to participate to appreciate the full Rotary experience and we encourage you to do so!
Our Friday morning meetings (7:30–8:30 AM at the Sheraton in Palo Alto) are lively, thoughtful, and meaningful. I invite you to join us, meet the Mavericks, and see firsthand how we blend tradition with action.
We hope to see you soon.
Regards,
Richard Hackmann
Club President (2025-2026)
