personal, business, and community life.

and peace, through a world fellowship of business and professional
persons united in the ideal of service.

What is Rotary?
This definition of Rotary was created at the request of the
Rotary International
Board of Directors, who wanted a concise definition of the fundamental aspects of
Rotary. The definition finally arrived at is:
Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons united worldwide
who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations,
and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

Our Rotary Club Christmas Party
was generously hosted by Pam and Dave Osborn in their beautiful Point Reyes home.
Sliced ham, a generous helping of deviled eggs, a surfeit of delicious vegan dishes, fresh home-made
bread, California wines, and sinful desserts and hot coffee and tea made for a great climax to 2011.

The Golden Gate Bridge in 1937. Steve Keplinger takes notes.
