Rotary: Where Service Unites

You might wonder, “What does Rotary have to do with me? Isn’t that just a group of older folks?” Not anymore. Our Garberville Rotary Club is a dynamic, inclusive team made up of passionate individuals—caring women and men, non-profit leaders, young professionals, organic farmers, and community members—all united by a common goal: doing good for humanity, both locally and globally.

Rotary International’s motto, “Service Above Self,” is something we’ve been living out in Garberville for 80 years. Just take a look around town—the Rotary wheel marks handicap corners in Garberville, and you’ll find our plaque at the Benbow Stage. We’ve built garden beds at Redway School, created the festival stage at the Community Park, and consistently support the Healy Senior Center, Nick’s Interns, and Hospice. Our club even extends its impact beyond our borders, sponsoring women’s financial empowerment initiatives in Central America.

We welcome everyone to join our weekly Tuesday noon meetings at SoHum Health, 286 Sprowel Creek Road. Enjoy a delicious lunch, share your ideas, and get inspired by local and regional speakers who are tackling important projects and issues. Together, we can make a difference—touching the lives of children, families, and communities both near and far.
