We believe in community.
The Rotary Club of Sebastopol is over one hundred years old. For that entire time, our goal has
been to make our community, better, more joyful, more united. We pride ourselves on club projects that respond to needs and make this town an even more special place to live.

As important, we do all this work in the company of our fellow club members. For all of us, they are our extended family. Not only do we come together to support our town, we come together to support each other. And we do; that friendship is a source of energy, comfort, and inspiration.
 

I am proud to lead a club that has great goals for this year. We will focus on our traditional projects like Overcoming Obstacles, which honors high school students who have done well despite having to overcome significant issues in their lives. We will continue to support teachers with grants for classroom supplies and materials they need but can’t get without digging into their own pockets. And we will honor great teachers with our Teacher of the Year awards; they are the people who make all the other good things in school happen.
 

That is not the total of our good works. We are proud to be a supporter of  the Dolly Parton  Imagination Library that sends books to children every month from birth to their fifth birthday.
 

And we have international projects we support in Mexico, Africa, and the Ukraine that demonstrate Rotary’s extraordinary world-wide reach.
 

I could go on, but I’d suggest the best way for you to learn about us is to come to one of our Friday lunch meetings at the Community Church inSebastopol.
 

You will come away impressed by the energy and good will. It will make you want to join, and you should.
 

We genuinely like each other. We have a busy social calendar: five o’clock drinks, picnics, Christmas parties and much more. We have all been drawn in by Rotary’s commitment to fellowship and service and find that has made us a compatible and welcoming bunch.

Read through the website for more information. Come to lunch. Check out our projects. We’ve had lots of new members recently; they have been attracted by how much we contribute to our town, and how much we enjoy ourselves while doing it.
 

On behalf of all of our members, we welcome you.
