What is Rotary?
Rotary International is an association of individual clubs with each club operating autonomously. Unlike business associations where companies join the organization, the individual invited to join a local club and becomes a member. The individual becomes a member after being invited to join and being sponsored by a current member.

On June 27, 1951, the Rotary Club of China Lake was chartered with 20 members. The Rotary Club of Oildale (Bakersfield North) was our sponsor. Over 100 Rotarians and guest gathered in the Trona Community Recreation Hall on the evening of October 2, 1951 for the Charter presentation by Past District Governor Joe Sears of Santa Barbara, California. The Charter Members included six Naval Officers, five civilian engineers and scientists from the Naval Ordnance Test Station, China Lake, three Trona Railroad officials, two China Lake school administrators, two medical doctors, a dentist and a manager of the American Potash and Chemical Company in Trona.
