SUMMARY: Designates September as Service Clubs Month in appreciation for all the
significant contributions service clubs make to communities throughout the state. Specifically,
this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1) Service clubs throughout the State of California are organizations that engage in community
service, charitable work, and fundraising, and have been an integral part of communities
throughout the state in many cases for over 100 years and have made significant
contributions to the development of our communities.
2) Service clubs play a vital role in community development by providing resources and
services to support local communities and contribute to various community projects,
including building playgrounds, supporting educational programs, and providing
scholarships.
3) Service clubs engage in various charitable works, including donating to food banks, homeless
shelters, and disaster relief efforts. They provide leadership development opportunities for
their members and provide avenues to learn about leadership skills, team building, and
communication, assisting them in their personal and professional lives.
4) Service clubs focus on developing the skills and talents of young people, provide mentoring,
leadership training, and scholarship opportunities for students, and organize programs to
support underprivileged youth.
