Are you going? Our Club is hosting our largest-ever Pints For Polio fun-raiser as the kick-off event at this year's District Conference in just 4 weeks, and we need a few more helpers to come to Bakersfield to help make this a successful event!
Rotary5240DC.org has all of the information you need to register for the conference. Spend Saturday in Bakersfield for an amazing day of fun, education and inspiration!
And if you sign up on our volunteer page THIS WEEK to help out with Pints For Polio on Friday, October 5th we've reserved a block of rooms at the host hotel (Doubletree) and still have a couple complimentary rooms left for you and we'll even throw in a commemorative P4P T-shirt too! Okay, if nothing else it'll make some nice pajamas! ;)

Quarterly Offsite Service Project and the Official visit of our District Governor, Sandi Schwartz
In lieu of our regular meeting on
9/11 we will gather at Casa del Herrero (1387 E. Valley Road) for a short Lunch-and-Learn session featuring a boxed lunch from Shalhoob's (order below) and a chance to chat with our District Governor, Sandi Schwartz.
Following the meeting we'll embark on some outdoor projects the wonderful folks at Casa del Herrero have planned for us, so wear your work clothes and bring gardening gloves if you have them! Dress appropriately.
Join other Club members from Montecito at the 110th Rotary International Convention in Hamburg, Germany, 1-5 June 2019. There's already a group of us going and we'd like you to attend too!
The historic port city of Hamburg offers something for everyone. Germans call it “The Gateway to the World” — and the 2019 convention will be your gateway to the world of Rotary. At the convention, you’ll connect with people of action from across the globe while learning the latest news and strategies for keeping clubs strong.
Every convention is an opportunity to learn, whether you're new to Rotary or a veteran. Not only will you be inspired by the energy and enthusiasm that surrounds you, you’ll also make new, unforgettable memories and friendships that can last a lifetime. You might even experience your very own "Rotary Moment!"
Join your Rotary friends and fellow Club members in Hamburg at the 2019 Rotary Convention.
The Rotary Club of Montecito is made up of local business, professional, and civic leaders. We are passionate people with diverse perspectives who exchange ideas, forge lifelong friendships, and, above all, take action to change our community and the world.
Join us! We typically meet for lunch on Tuesdays at noon in the Marbella Restaurant at the beautiful Hyatt Centric Hotel (1111 E. Cabrillo Blvd. Santa Barbara, CA USA) directly across from East Beach!
