There also will be exhibits from nonprofit groups, community organizations, and businesses along with an array of food vendors.

There will be special activities for children including an Art Contest and painting on a car provided by Galpin Motors. On Saturday, Fleet Street, an organization affiliated with the Pacific Lodge Boys’ Home and the Rotary Club of Woodland Hills, will be repairing bicycles for free. There also are plans for a display of a Los Angeles City fire truck.

Admission and parking are free. Proceeds from the event will benefit local charities and schools including RotaCare (a local health care clinic for those without health insurance), the Pacific Lodge Boys’ Home, Los Angeles County Foster Youth, and Fulbright Elementary School.

Rotary is a service organization that unites leaders from all continents, cultures, and occupations to exchange ideas and take action in communities around the world. Members pool their resources and talents to serve their communities. The organization’s dedication to this ideal is best expressed in its motto: Service Above Self.

There are more than 34,000 clubs worldwide, where Rotarians volunteer to support education and job training, provide clean water, combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, and eradicate polio. The Rotary Club of Woodland Hills meets on Wednesdays at noon at the Woodland Hills Country Club.  For information on volunteering contact Katie Andrews or Jay Saltzman.
