Rotary is an international organization of people with clubs all over the world. By joining Rotary you become a part of a worldwide family. When you travel, one of the highlights will be to attend a Rotary meeting. Your Rotary family anywhere in the world will welcome you warmly. Rotary performs international service, like working to eradicate polio and providing water wells and medical supplies. Our Rotary Club prides itself on its local service like Youth Programs and International Exchange, Incline Village Rotary Flower Garden, building and maintaining bus shelters, scenic benches, gardens, and the Lake Tahoe Overlook. We also support many local charities. Scroll down and you will see Opportunities for You to join in and Serve!

We track Club Rotary volunteer hours so tell us about it when you volunteer (lurn@me.com/or text 510-334-5343)!

Buy Holiday Candies and Support Local Charities! Buy See's Candy and have it delivered anywhere you want! We need YOU to buy it, send it to yourself, your friends or your family, eat it and buy some more!

The best bang for the buck is to buy gift cards so you and friends and family can go to a store and get what they want. This saves delivery fees. The proceeds go to our club's local projects. Just click on this link to visit our online store:
