We are a service club that is part of a global organization having over 1.2 million members that belong to more than 31,000 clubs in 167 countries. The Santa Rosa Club was established in 1921 and continues to be committed to working for a better community and world.
Our Club is populated by civic minded men and women who represent a wide variety of professions and businesses.
The Santa Rosa Rotary Club has worked on and raised funds for numerous worthwhile projects and charities. Some examples include: Providing dictionaries to every third grader in Santa Rosa, building a play area for children with special needs in Howarth Park, providing a fine arts children's program, working to reduce youth gangs and providing improvements to the Apple Valley/Papago Court area of Santa Rosa. Additionally, we provide services to seniors who are shut in, as well as scholarships to high school and college students.

The
Rotary Club of Santa Rosa
The Rotary
Club of Santa Rosa is an organization of nearly 200 business
and professional men and women who see the connection of community
to self and contribute their time and energy to making Santa
Rosa and Sonoma County a better place to live.
Founded
in Chicago in 1905 by Paul Harris, the meeting place rotated
from one member's business to another's, leading to the name
Rotary. Today, Rotary is truly global, boasting approximately
1.2 million Rotarians belonging to more than 31,000 Rotary
clubs in 167 countries.
In a local
level, some of the projects Rotary has raised money for include
the Redwood Empire Food Bank truck, a play area for children
with special abilities in Howarth Park, and a dictionary for
every third grader in Santa Rosa every year. Our Centennial
Project involves improvements in the Apple Valley/Papago Court
area of Santa Rosa that will help make that neighborhood a
healthier place to live and raise a family.
