For the Rotary year 2021-22, the Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise has focused its attentions to the local environment and the world at large. We have apportioned funds for assisting in pandemic relief efforts, for the benefit of local community services, and in accordance with Rotary International's newest area of focus, the environment. We are a close group of individuals working together to make change wherever and however change is needed.
Welcome to Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise!
ExtraFood’s mission is to end hunger and wasted food in the North Bay. Marin Sunrise Rotarians, along with others, rescue excess food from the Marin Farmers Market vendors every 3rd Sunday and redistribute it to local non-profits who use it to feel their residents. Some of those who have benefited from these fruits and vegetables are Helen Vine Recovery Center, Homeward Bound of Marin, and The Redwoods. ExtraFood estimates that 5,960,606 pounds of food have been rescued and delivered via 60,000 hours donated by volunteers like Marin Sunrise Rotarians. Come join us!
The Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise was the first Rotary Club in the Nation to have Women as Chartered Members in 1987.
The Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise is the PROUD SPONSOR of the Redwood High School Interact Club. All the Kids and the annual grant scholarship winners are wonderfully articulate and appreciative of the growth they have experienced as a direct result of participating in Interact and the service projects in the community.

Guiding principles
These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.
Object of Rotary
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
- FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
- SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
- THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
- FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Avenues of Service
We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity.
- Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan.
- Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. Learn more in An Introduction to Vocational Service and the Code of Conduct.
- Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. Learn more in Communities in Action: A Guide to Effective Projects.
- International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.
- Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange.
