Welcome to the Rotary Club of Nevada City

 
There's something that all Rotary club members have in common: We take action. As community volunteers, we reach out to neighbors in need. We build, support, and organize. We save lives. We work locally and globally.
 
The main objective of Rotary is service -- in the community, the workplace and the world. Around the world and around the corner, the 1.2 million men and women of Rotary
  • Get involved in our communities
  • Connect with other professionals
  • Share their time and experience with young people
  • Support global causes, such as eradicating polio
  • Use our skills to help others
Rotary is not just an organization. It is a medicine for the soul, a family we choose, not inherit,
and a gift we give to ourselves and the world!
Past President Cathy Wilcox-Barnes.

Whether you're a veteran volunteer or new to community service, we are looking for people like you. Contact us for more information about Rotary and how to join us.

Nevada City Rotary crew returned from our 11th trip partnering with the Rotary Club of Los Barriles Cabo Este, Baja CA Sur.
 
The team on the first day at San Bartolo included John and Sandra, Paul, Kelly and Dave, Cathy, Syd Brown, Dr Sarah Woerner, Frank, a dentist from Reno, members of Los Barriles Rotary, and East Cape Clinic staff. A second team including Chris and her friend Fran were in Los Barriles along with Jon and Martha Greene plus Dave Sundstrom from Reno Central.
 
Once again the teams partnered with East Cape Health Clinic to host multiple wellness clinics in the Los Barriles area. Students were screened for diabetes, eye sight, dental, respiratory, and skeletal issues along with overall wellness checks.
 
The kids were thrilled with their goodie bags of new toothbrushes and the toothpaste (along with the other surprises.) One little girl was very proud to show off how to use dental floss! It’s been a rewarding experience again.😁🦷 
 
We extend a special shout out to Char Wenger, one of our coordinating partners and CEO of the East Cape Clinic for well deserved recognition as Global Woman Leader.
 
Check out special photos in the Los Barriles 2026 Photo Album!
 
A big thank you to the team!  We look forward to hearing all about the clinics and your trip.  

More children are feeling the vibe!

As of December 1, over  825 children ages 0-5 are enrolled in the Imagination Library Nevada County program! Karen McDonald recently shared a heart warming story about a 2-year old child of a former student who came running to her at Mt St Mary's squealing "looky" with her first book. Friends, neighbors and until-now strangers are expressing joy and gratitude as their children receive their monthly books!
 
We are proud to partner with Dolly Parton's Imagination LibraryFirst 5 Nevada County, and the generous donors from our community to bring the joy of reading to littlest ones among us!
 
You too can support Nevada County’s Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library by making a special Year End 2025 Gift. Read Andrea’s Year 2025 Year End Letter.

The power of partnership expands our opportunities for service and the impact of our work. We celebrate and extend a special thank you to our partners during this Rotary year.

For prior years,

April 2026
