President's Message

Edward L. Franco

President 2023-2024

The Rotary Club of Montebello was chartered by Rotary International on February 2, 1924.  It is one of over 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries with more than 1.2 million Rotarians.

It is my honor to represent Rotary International as the 2021-2022 President of the Montebello Rotary Club.  Our award-winning service organization has been improving lives in our local community, our country, and our world for almost 100 years.  We continue to do our best to help others in need, help instill leadership qualities in our youth, and venture across borders and cultures through our donations and service with our Rotary counterparts in Baja California.

Montebello Rotarians give freely of their resources, time, and connections to become “People of Action” and “Serve to Change Lives”! We all come from all walks of life and Rotary strives to be apolitical, non-religious, and open to all who want to live by Rotary’s Four-Way Test.

Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has been translated into more than one hundred languages and published in thousands of ways.

Of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

I highly encourage you to come visit our club at an upcoming meeting as our guest to get a small glimpse of what Rotary International represents.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Edward L. Franco

2023-2024 President
