On behalf of over one hundred members of the Sebastopol Rotary Club, I invite you to discover our story.   We believe in the power of friendship, the joy of working together, and the importance of giving back to our community. 

 

This past year was most trying; the fires may not have reached Sebastopol, but their effects rippled throughout the county.  Our support for youth, education, and local community projects was more important than ever, as non-profit organizations all over Sonoma County were confronted with extraordinary demands, although fewer resources to support them.

 

Our club and our friends stepped up.  Members dug deep, as did our friends.  We maintained our support for all our important programs, and more members than ever found time to volunteer their time tutoring and mentoring students, staffing food banks, teaching second graders to swim, repairing other community organizations’ buildings and spaces, and providing gifts and support for needy families during the holidays.  And that does not even count our support for projects overseas and Rotary’s long-standing commitment to end polio around the world.

 

Click on any of the pictures that surround this message, and you will find that we are a community.  We like each other and what we do together.  We share the same values.  And we enjoy what we accomplish for the community, taking great pride in the good that we do.

 

I encourage you to come to a Friday lunch, or a major fundraiser.  Even better, join us.  We’d love to welcome you to our ranks.
