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!

Hurricane Helene has caused widespread devastation in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, leaving countless families in need of urgent assistance. Rotary Zones 33/34 are responding swiftly, and your support is crucial in helping the hardest-hit areas. Please use the donation links below to contribute to recovery efforts.

Here is the donation link: Zone 33-34 Foundation (superform.app)

Rotary Zones 33-34 Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization (EIN 81-3880345). Rotary Zones 33 and 34 are in the southeast coastal areas of the US. The next Zones to the west are 30 and 31 which support that same foundation. There are also: The American Red Cross: Donate to Disaster Relief | American Red Cross Samaritan’s Purse: U.S. Disaster Relief (samaritanspurse.org) and Team Rubicon: Home - Team Rubicon (teamrubiconusa.org)

Our Rotary Peace Garden is next to the Chevron Station on the corner of Tahoe Blvd. and Village. Walk by and take a look! We don't need any gardening right now, but in the Spring we will expand the garden towards the sidewalks. Do you like to garden? If we had more gardeners we could expand to other corners in Incline Village!

Hispanic Outreach Personalized Approach (HOPA). You would be a mentor to specially selected high school students to teach them about your profession. This would require about 30 to 60 minutes per month, October through June, coordinating with the organization and school. You would guide and support your student in exploring professional paths, applying for scholarships, building a resume, seeking letters of recommendation, and preparing for interviews. Email Ana Porras at ana.porras@washoeschools.net and let her know what your areas of expertise are so she can look for a good match with a prospective mentee.
