Welcome

Welcome to the Palo Alto/University Rotary Club. We proudly call ourselves the Friday Morning Mavericks, and we have a reputation for doing things a little differently.

​

If your search for a non-profit organization to belong to, or a Rotary club in particular, has brought you here, I am glad it did. Once you meet our Mavericks, I am confident you won't need to look further.

​

Our membership, made up of diverse community leaders and business owners, operates under Rotary's "Service Above Self" motto and the rigor of the Four-Way Test. This year, we are focused on one goal: Create Lasting, Visible Impact, with Joy. Because when service comes from a place of joy, it fulfills, enriches, and sustains us.

​

With PAUR, you will:

• Drive measurable change in our community

• Make new friends and expand your professional network

• Create local and global impact through service

​

​

Rotarians often say, "People join for the service and stay for the fellowship." Our Friday morning meetings (7:30 to 8:30 AM at the Sheraton in Palo Alto) are lively, thoughtful, meaningful, and inclusive. I invite you to join us, meet the Mavericks, and see firsthand how we blend tradition with action. When you are ready, visit our Membership page to learn how to become a member.

Hope to see you soon,
