A Rotary Request: Help Us Share and Build The Lake Arrowhead Gathering Place
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
I am writing today with deep gratitude for the extraordinary encouragement, wisdom, and belief so many of you have already shown during the journey to create The Lake Arrowhead Gathering Place.
What began as a simple question—how do we better serve the seniors in our mountain community—has now grown into an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a dedicated working board and a clear path forward. This progress would not have been possible without the spirit of Rotary and the shared commitment to Service Above Self.
We have now taken an important next step: our GoFundMe campaign and social media outreach are officially live.

If you feel moved to contribute financially, your support would be deeply appreciated. Just as important, however, is your help in sharing these links with your own circles—friends, family, colleagues, and community partners. Your voice carries tremendous credibility, and your willingness to share this mission can help us reach those who may also believe in creating a place where connection, vitality, and purpose continue well into life’s later chapters.
The Gathering Place represents more than a building. It represents belonging. It represents dignity. It represents the Rotary ideal of strengthening community through compassion and action.
Thank you for all you have done, and for all you continue to do, to help this vision move forward.
With appreciation and Rotary fellowship,
Joy Patrick Eckert
