Club History
The Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise (formerly Larkspur Landing) is THE FIRST Rotary Club to have women as Charter Members
"My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world," said Frank J. Devlyn, who would go on to become RI president in 2000-01.
The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to allow for the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meetings.
The response to the decision was overwhelming: By 1990, the number of female Rotarians had skyrocketed to over 20,000.
Twenty years after the Council on Legislation's vote, Rotary has nearly 188,000 female Rotarians. Women have served in leadership positions as high as the RI Board of Directors and The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees.

Our Club Founded The RotaCare Clinic of San Rafael in 1997.
RotaCare is a FREE volunteer-based healthcare clinic run by medical professionals and community members.
There are now 12 clinics across the San Francisco Bay Area. Check out the RotaCare PSA video below and San Rafael clinic website:

REDWOOD HIGH SCHOOL INTERACT CLUB
As the Sponsor of the Redwood High School Interact Club, We have had the privilege of working directly with Youths in the community and guiding them while they participate in service projects and weekly meetings.
Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting.
Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of
- Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
- Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
- Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
- Advancing international understanding and goodwill
As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 10,700 clubs in 109 countries and geographical areas, Interact has become a worldwide phenomenon. Almost 200,000 young people are involved in Interact.
