In addition Monterey Park Rotary also contributed to the City of Monterey Park’s 4th of July celebration and served dinner to needy families at the Boys and Girls Club’s annual Chinese New Year event. President Yu “feels our club took an active role in helping out the community this year.” The community is welcome to attend the demotion to celebrate Yu’ accomplishments.
