President Kathy Hick's full message
 
We meet every Friday at 12:15 PM at the Community Church of Sebastopol,  1000 Gravenstein Hwy N, Sebastopol, CA 95472 — and guests are always welcome!
 
In May 2025, we proudly celebrated our 100th anniversary — a century of Service Above Self. Since 1925, our club has been making a lasting impact in Sebastopol and around the world, led by people who care deeply about their neighbors and believe in the power of service to bring about positive change.
 
Honors & Recognition
Last year, our club was recognized with four incredible honors:
  • Rotary District 5130 Club of the Year
  • Governor’s Award
  • Vocational Service Award
  • International Service Award
These awards reflect the commitment, compassion, and energy of our members — and the meaningful projects we take on each year. Our club isn’t afraid to tackle new challenges or explore innovative approaches to service. We believe in changing the world one idea at a time.
 
Making a Local Impact
We’re proud to support:
  • Mark Sell Teacher Grants, funded by our beloved Crab Feed
  • Swim lessons for over 450 second-grade students each year
  • Scholarships for West County high school students
  • Upcoming major improvements at Ives Park, including an accessible walking path and renovations to the Little League concession stand
  • Hands-on community service — from volunteering at the Empire Food Bank to weeding and landscaping at the Sebastopol Post Office
We’re proud to partner with local schools, businesses, and nonprofits to amplify our impact in West County.
 
Global Reach
 
Our impact goes beyond our town’s borders. Internationally, our club has helped:
  • Build playgrounds in Tecuala, Mexico
  • Support Second Chance to Education for Adolescent Mothers in Uganda
  • Fellowship & Fun
 
Service is at the heart of what we do — and so is community. We love to laugh, connect, and celebrate through:
  • Happy hours throughout the year
  • An annual Fall Picnic and Christmas Party
  • Our Annual Crab Feed and other fundraising events
  • Weekly meetings filled with inspiration, laughter, and great conversation
  • Our Values
 
As a Rotary Club, we are guided by values of integrity, service, fellowship, and leadership — always asking ourselves:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
 
 
Whether you’re a longtime Rotarian, new to the area, or simply curious about what Rotary is all about — we invite you to join us. Come for the service, stay for the friendships, and help us shape the next 100 years of doing good in Sebastopol and beyond.
Together, we unite for good.
 
Yours in Rotary Service,
Kathleen Hicks
