Greetings from the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North.
 
The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North was chartered in 1959, and we celebrated our 64th  anniversary this year.   We are part of Rotary International, a service club association that includes approximately 34,000 Rotary clubs, with 1.2 million members, in nearly 200 countries around the world.
 
Our club has a deep commitment to serving people in the Santa Barbara Region and throughout the world. Each year we donate to youth awards and grants for local and international projects.
 
Our service to the community is focused in the areas of Basic Needs, Education and Mentoring, and Youth Services.  Just a few of the projects our members provide hands-on service include engaging students in a wide variety of ways at Adams School, overseeing the annual 4-Way Test Essay Contest and support four high school students in the RYLA program. We strive to enhance the quality of life in our community through the motto of “Service Above Self.”
 
Beyond its philanthropy, the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North hosts luncheons for our members, welcoming high quality speakers to the podium as our programs.  The first and third Wednesday at Noon Rotarians and guests are engaged in presentations on timely topics given by local, state, national, and international speakers.

 

Our goal this year is "Let's Have Fun" and community mental wellness.
 
We are always looking for other leaders in Santa Barbara to join us.  If you are open to connecting with other leaders such as yourself and motivated to serve our community, consider becoming a part of our club.  Please take the opportunity to come see what the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North is all about!
