MONTHLY GATHERINGS
The Phoenix Arcadia Rotary Club (PARC) meets four times a month in a variety of social settings.

• We host a two breakfast meetings a month, at which we welcome influential guest speakers from major charitable organizations, community, government and corporate leaders. 
• We network with current and future Rotarians, and friends, coworkers and family members at one happy hour per month. These informal gatherings are the perfect setting to "try-on" Rotary and learn more about our members and our organization. 
• We serve the Phoenix community through one community service project per month. Normally, our service projects are scheduled for Saturday mornings and are family-friendly community service opportunities. 
• Additionally, the PARC Board of Directors meets once per month to guide the strategic direction of the club.
