A Message from Our President

 
 

Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by our website.

For over 60 incredible years, the Rotary Club of Orangevale has been a beacon of hope and service in our community and beyond. We’ve poured our hearts into making local schools better, offering scholarships, and giving every Orangevale third grader their very own hardbound dictionary. We’ve rolled up our sleeves at the Orangevale-Fair Oaks Food Bank, serving those in need every single month. And let’s not forget our cherished Christmas tradition—bringing gifts and groceries to struggling families. Recently, we even provided shoes to homeless school children, lighting up their lives with hope.

As part of Rotary International, a powerful network of over 35,000 clubs and 1.4 million members, our reach extends globally. We’ve championed clean water initiatives, invested in businesses, fought to eradicate polio, and responded to disasters. Under the inspiring leadership of Rotary International President Gordon McInally, we are driven by the theme “Create Hope in the World,” pushing us to make an even greater impact both locally and globally.

Our club is a vibrant tapestry of men and women from diverse professional backgrounds, united by the high ethical standards that Rotarians hold dear—fairness, honesty, integrity, and generosity. Our motto, “Service above Self,” is the heartbeat of all we do. We’re a friendly bunch, enjoying our meetings and social activities, and the joy of serving together.

If you’ve ever thought about joining a group of like-minded, civic-minded individuals, the Orangevale Rotary Club might just be the perfect fit for you.

We gather almost every Friday morning from 7 to 8:15 am at La Placita Restaurant, 9272 Greenback Lane in Orangevale. Our meetings are a blend of updates on our projects and plans, and we always feature a fascinating guest speaker. I warmly invite you to join us for breakfast, meet our wonderful members, and discover more about Rotary and our club.

Come be part of something extraordinary!

 
Yours in Rotary,
 
Catrina Womack
