Come Join Rotary Club of Chama Valley

We meet each week at Fosters back room, Thursday, 12noon to 1pm.


Rotary is 1.2 million passionate individuals in 35,000+ clubs worldwide. We are both an international organization and a local community leader. Together we lead change in our own backyards and across the world.

  • Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.
  • WE CONNECT PEOPLE
    Rotary unites more than a million people

    Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
  • WE TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES
    We take action locally and globally

    Each day, our members pour their passion, integrity, and intelligence into completing projects that have a lasting impact. We persevere until we deliver real, lasting solutions.
  • WE SOLVE PROBLEMS
    No challenge is too big for us

    For more than 110 years, we’ve bridged cultures and connected continents to champion peace, fight illiteracy and poverty, promote clean water and sanitation, and fight disease.

Rotary History


Rotary started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.

Over time, Rotary’s reach and vision gradually extended to humanitarian service. Members have a long track record of addressing challenges in their communities and around the world.

Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves.

Paul Harris
Rotary founder
Our ongoing commitment
That commitment endures today through an organization that remains truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Our members now span the globe, working to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems.

We’re not afraid to dream big and set bold goals. We began our fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, polio remains endemic in only three countries — down from 125 in 1988.

  • Promoting Peace
    Rotary fosters understanding across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.
  • Fighting Disease
    We are resolved to rid the world of polio forever. We also educate and equip communities to stop other diseases and expand access to health care.
  • Providing Clean Water
    We help bring sustainable clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away.
  • Saving Mothers & Children
    We expand access to quality medical care, sanitation, education and economic opportunities so mothers and their children can live and grow stronger.
  • Supporting Education
    Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
  • Growing Local Economies
    We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and create opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old.
