What Is Rotary?

A Rotary Club is a group of local business professionals, civic leaders, and community members who come together regularly to build friendships and create positive change—both in our Auburn community the greater Gold Country as well as around the world.

Joining Rotary is a wonderful way to make friends, have fun, and share your skills while making a lasting impact. As a member, you’ll experience the joy of serving locally and internationally, all while developing long-lasting relationships as we work side by side on meaningful projects.

Our club meetings are an important part of Rotary life. While attendance isn’t mandatory, members look forward to them because they are fun, engaging, and informative opportunities to connect and learn more about our hometown, and Placer County as a whole.

As our guest, we warmly invite you to attend a meeting and see firsthand what makes Rotary such an important and vibrant part of Auburn and beyond.
