I am honored to serve as the President of the Rotary Club of Davis for the 2024/25 Rotary Year.
The Rotary Club of Davis will embark on its 99th year of service to the Community, the Region, and the greater World this year.
The Club meets most Mondays for lunch at 12:15 at the Davis Community Church Social Hall across from Central Park in downtown Davis. Our lunch meetings offer good fellowship, outstanding speakers, a forum to discuss Rotary business and projects, a few laughs, and a tasty meal.
Our speakers include leaders of local and community services organizations, heads of local and regional arts and music organizations, noted authors like Kim Stanley Robinson and Craig McNamara, UC Davis professors, officials, and coaches, business and government leaders, and so much more.
Our Club is committed to community service. In our region, we provide volunteers and/or financial support for Meals on Wheels, the Yolo Food Bank, the Yolo Crisis Nursery, Empower Yolo, the Salvation Army, the Davis Education Foundation, and many others.
Internationally, we support the work of the Rotary Foundation and its projects worldwide. One of its most notable programs is the fight to eradicate polio. We have also partnered with local Rotary Clubs on a host of projects, including most recently a project to support students and others in our sister City of Uman, Ukraine, during the terrible war with Russia.
Our members work together to raise funds for our charitable efforts and programs by presenting a fundraising gala called Big Night, by hosting the Rotary BBQ (a great community event), and by working the Rotary Beer Booth at the Yolo County Fair, (come out and enjoy the Fair) among other efforts.
The Club also hosts wonderful social events, most recently an afternoon at the Music Circus and a great dinner. Other events include lunch at a local winery and Holiday and Valentine’s Day parties. This year, we are looking to add a Yolo High Wheelers game and an evening with the Sacramento Symphony.
We would love to have you join us.
