Rotarians at Work Day April 28,2018. Gold Country Rotarians descended on Rock Creek School on Saturday to do several tasks. The garden area cleaned up so the children could plant vegetables. The benches around trees that the club had installed a few years ago were given a new coat of paint with some whimsical designs added. The kiosk near the front entrance to the school was moved and positioned at angle that improved it's visibility.

The Gold Country Rotary Club was charted in 1984. Our growing Club is made up of a fun-loving group of neighbors, friends, leaders and problem-solvers who come together on a weekly basis to promote friendship, offer networking opportunities and provide service to others, both locally and internationally. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back.
Each club member volunteers personal time and services to help improve our community and works hard to raise funds through a variety of efforts, including the annual Oktoberfest, that the club contributes to College scholarships. Each Spring, we use our hands painting schools, creating gardens, helping vaccination clinics and planting trees on Rotarians at Work Day.
Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally in Auburn, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.
You are always very welcome to attend one of our weekly lunch meetings held at Awful Annie’s. Have lunch and join us!
