Join us on Friday Mornings at Sheraton Palo Alto Hotel
Social Committee
Nanci Kauffman
Chair
"Fellowship in Service,
Friendship in Action."
At PAUR, we believe that stronger friendships make for stronger service. When we know and trust one another, our collaboration becomes more meaningful—and more impactful.
That’s why we make time not just for meetings and projects, but also for shared experiences that build community within the club.
Throughout the year, we host a variety of social events that allow members to relax, connect on a personal level, and celebrate the spirit of Rotary in an atmosphere of warmth, laughter, and camaraderie.
Ongoing Social Events
Second Friday Socials
Each month, a member hosts an informal evening with light finger food, drinks, and easy conversation—a chance to unwind and connect outside our regular meetings.
Monthly Hikes
Each month, on a Saturday morning, members meet for a local hike followed by a no-host lunch—enjoying nature, fresh air, and great conversation along the way.
Annual Social Events
Spring Fling
A joyful celebration of the friendships we’ve built throughout the year—through meetings, projects, and time spent together. It’s our way of saying thank you to each other and welcoming what’s next.
President’s Swan Song Dinner
An evening of celebration, reflection, and transition as we honor our outgoing President and welcome the incoming one into office.
Summer Picnic
Held at local favorites like Foothills Park, this family-friendly gathering includes food, games, and great company.
Holiday Party
Hosted at a member’s home, this festive event brings us together to celebrate the season with warmth and cheer.
Who Benefits
Our members benefit most—these events give us a chance to deepen connections with people we may only know casually, creating lasting friendships that strengthen our club.
Why It Matters
Rotary was founded on the idea that friendship and service go hand in hand. These gatherings help us build goodwill, trust, and camaraderie—essential to working well together in service.
How to Get Involved
Getting started is easy—join us for a Friday morning meeting and see how friendship fuels our impact. Friends of PAUR members are also welcome to attend select events by invitation.
