About Us
Our Club
The Rotary Club of Montecito was founded in 1953. For more than 70 years we've been developing projects and delivering service to our community and the wider world. Along the way we've made lasting friendships and had a lot of fun!
Our Members
Rotarians are People of Action. Our members are business and professional leaders with high ethical standards who give back to the community through fellowship and service.
Our Membership Options
Depending upon your circumstances, the Rotary Club of Montecito has a membership option that should meet your needs. Typically, most members join as Individual Members. However you and your partner, spouse, or another member of the same household (ie parent, child, etc.) may wish to explore our Family (or Household) Membership option for the two of you at a reduced obligation. And finally, for businesses and other organizations looking to foster a culture of community service in the workplace, we offer a Corporate Membership option where three members of the same entity can join as members of Rotary at a reduced obligation. Of course, our members thrive on fellowship and collaboration so we encourage each and every member to fully engage and participate as much and as often as possible.
Applications for each of the three Membership Options can be found on our Forms/Links page, and include much more detailed information including obligations and requirements for membership.
Our Meetings
The Rotary Club of Montecito meets 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of each month at noon at the Music Academy of the West.
