As part of our Club’s commitment to our community, Fremont Morning Rotary recently approved five annual grants totaling $4,700 to local organizations that provide much needed services in our area. And as they say on TV, “But wait, that’s not all!” In addition to just writing a check, many of our Club members also actively volunteer their time to these organizations, giving a helping hand to deliver services to those who need them in our community. That’s what Rotarians do. Here is how we are involved:

Even though it’s still summer time, many graduating high school students are already looking forward to attending the college of their choice in a month or so. Two students are getting a bit of a boost to attend Ohlone Community College in the form of a $1,000 scholarship each from Fremont Morning Rotary Club.
James "Luke" Oviatt, graduated from Kennedy high school. He greatly enjoyed playing baseball for Kennedy the last four years. Luke wants to be a teacher or an engineer; teaching runs in the family but engineering looks interesting as well. He plans to use his time at Ohlone College to decide his career path.
Samena Sharifi, graduated from Irvington high school. After Ohlone College, she plans to pursue law at UC Davis or UCLA. Sameena wants to major in Criminal Justice and become a lawyer.
The scholarships were awarded at a virtual Scholarship Awards ceremony on July 16 at Ohlone College. Both of these excellent students have bright futures ahead of them and our Rotary Club is proud to have had a part in that.
Since 2015, the Rotary Clubs in the Fremont, Newark and Union City area have joined forces to develop and fund Rotary humanitarian grant projects around the world. We partner with Rotary Clubs in other under developed countries to fight disease, provide clean water, relieve hunger and promote education.
In 2018, Fremont Morning Rotary, along with our area Rotary Clubs of Fremont, Fun Sunset, Mission San Jose, Newark and Niles-Fremont, worked with the Rotary Clubs of Wynberg near Cape Town, South Africa and Deerfield Beach, Florida to enhance the Community Medics program for the Cape Town area. This is a nongovernmental program coordinated by Victoria Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Community Medics provides first responders to medical emergencies until an ambulance can arrive, much like local paramedic programs we are familiar with in our area.We recently completed this project grant, totaling $73,000, which provided an additional response vehicle stocked with medical equipment and training for first responders for the Community Medics program. Because of the program, lives are saved.
Our local Rotary Clubs have developed and funded 17 such grants, large and small, in numerous countries in India, Africa, and Central America which have improved the lives of others around the world.
