Proud to Serve with Rotary International
Rick Patereau is a proud member of the Rotary Club of Gilroy, a local chapter of Rotary International that has been serving the community for 100 years. In 2025, the Gilroy Rotary Club celebrates its centennial anniversary; a remarkable milestone that reflects a century of commitment to service, leadership, and positive impact.
Trees to Read Under
In celebration of the Rotary Club of Gilroy's centennial year in 2025, an ambitious new community service project is underway: "Trees to Read Under."
​
Trees to Read Under involves a three-prong investment in our local schools, including:
-
Planting 100 trees on selected school sites;
-
Purchasing and installing benches under the trees; and
-
Funding new books for all 14 school libraries.
-
​
This project will not only make a positive impact on our local public schools, but it will leave a legacy for our youth.
