The pandemic didnât stop the Rotary Club of Los Altos from focusing on its commitment to community service.
Amid restrictions imposed by the public health crisis, Rotarians continued to provide grants to local nonprofit groups and college scholarships to graduating seniors through the Los Altos Rotary Endowment Fund.
Fundraising through the clubâs Fine Art in the Park open-air art show was impacted by poor weather in 2019 and canceled due to the pandemic in 2020. But this year, with many COVID restrictions in the rearview mirror, Carol Dabb, the Rotary Clubâs artist coordinator, introduced the Los Altos Bears project, aimed at generating funds for Rotary efforts and drawing visitors to the downtown area.
