Our Impact
Avenue of Flags – July 4th Celebration
On Independence Day, members of the Palo Alto University Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Palo Alto came together to continue the tradition of honoring our nation with the Avenue of Flags, 4 times a year. Each flag placed is a symbol of gratitude, unity, and remembrance – a reminder of the values we cherish and the community we serve. In this short video, our members share, in their own words, why we do it. As we get ready for the next one, please visit our club calendar for details.
