(REDONDO BEACH) September 24, 2014 -- Mike Stark, a member of the Redondo Beach Rotary Club, was honored last night for his nearly 42 years volunteerism with the Redondo Beach Police Department's Police Reserve Program.  Stark is the department's commander of the unit.  He is shown here with Redondo Beach Mayor Steve Aspel, also a Rotarian.  More than 100 community-minded individuals, including 10 members of our club, turned out for the 29th annual banquet honoring police reserve volunteer.  Started in 1972, volunteers have provided an estimated 524,000 hours of police service to Redondo Beach in the intervening years, according to Stark. The annual banquet is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Redondo Beach.
