WHAT IS THE ROTARY CLUB OF GRANITE BAY?

     The Rotary Club of Granite Bay is a member of Rotary International, a
worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional and
community leaders. Members of Rotary Clubs, known as Rotarians, provide
humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and
help build goodwill and peace in the world.
     Chartered April 1, 1984, our club averages 45 members, representing a
broad spectrum of community businesses and professions, as well as the
diversity of our community.  We meet each Friday from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m., at
Piatti's Restaurant, located at the corner of Douglas Boulevard and East
Roseville Parkway. Our meetings provide fellowship, lunch, and stimulating
programs dealing with topics ranging from local interest to global importance.
     The Rotary Club of Granite Bay sponsors an Interact Club of young future
leaders at Granite Bay High School, where we also constructed a 1200 square
foot sports equipment storage facility and purchased and installed the concrete
benches for the school Quadrangle. At Cavitt Middle School, our club completed
an $150,000 project consisting of three baseball/soccer fields and a par course.
In addition to building an outdoor luncheon area for the students of Greenhills
School, the club  constructed and landscaped two $80,000 Rotary picnic area,
shelter, and barbecue projects; one for the Granite Bay Community Park  and a
second similar project for the Ron Feist Community Park. A third park project is
underway at Franklin Elementary School.
       Internationally, the Rotary Club of Granite Bay set a worldwide per capita
record in 1989 by donating $100,000 to Rotary's Polio Plus Project dedicated to
wiping out polio worldwide. The Club has completed an additional three-year,
$10,000 commitment to help Rotary International complete this ambitious
project in 2009.
     Each year our annual Christmas Basket Program, conducted in conjunction
with the Eureka School District and the Kiwanis Club, delivers over 6000 food
and gift items (from frozen turkeys and canned food to shoe certificates and
bicycles) to over 100 families who would otherwise have gone without.
     In collaboration with  the Wheelchair Foundation, we have donated  2 cargo
containers full of wheelchairs, as well as several motor vans to transport both
wheelchairs and patients to medical service locations in Mexico, and are
currently planning a Hospital Ship Project in Ghana, and Literacy Project in
Mexico.
    As  project leader, The Rotary Club of Granite Bay, together with three other
area Rotary clubs, raised $50,000 to donate a Trauma/Neuro Intensive Care
facility which was dedicated as The Rotary Room at our local Sutter Roseville
Regional Trauma Center, and we have a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit project on
the drawing board!
 THIS CLUB IS ON THE MOVE!!!!
