The Rotary Club of Pleasant Hills recently hosted its first golf outing in memory of Harvey Hess, who was a proud Rotarian for an incredible 57 years. Harvey was known throughout the community as a sports enthusiast and a true supporter of local causes.

Before the golfers teed off, Harvey’s eldest son shared a story that perfectly captured his father’s love of sports: with six children in the house, each one learned to say “ball” before “mom” or “dad.” That spirit carried through the day, as friends, family, and Rotarians came together to honor Harvey’s legacy.
Harvey also gave his time and energy to the Myron Cope Charities, and in his honor, proceeds from the outing will benefit both Myron Cope’s charities and the Judy and Joe Weiss Trade School Scholarship Foundation.
It was a beautiful, sunny day, and golfers from Pleasant Hills and neighboring Rotary clubs came out to show their support. The event featured raffle baskets and even a big-screen TV giveaway, adding to the fun and excitement.
The outing was a total success—a day filled with laughter, community spirit, and the kind of fellowship that Harvey valued so deeply. The Pleasant Hills Rotary Club looks forward to making this memorial outing a tradition to carry Harvey’s love of service, family, and sports into the future.
