Welcome To Auburn Gold Country Rotary

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.
