                                            WHO ARE WE?
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 40 members, representing a broad spectrum of Granite Bay
businesses and professions, as well as the diversity of our community.  We meet each Friday from 12:00 to
1:30 p.m., at Mc Cormick & Schmick's, located in The Fountains Center,1194 Roseville Parkway, Roseville,
CA. 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, as well as funding two college scholarships at Granite Bay High School and one at Adelante
Continuation School.  We also constructed a 1200 square foot sports equipment storage facility and
purchased and installed the concrete benches for the Granite Bay High School Quadrangle, and a storage
facility for the girls softball team is projected for the 2012-2013 Rotary year. 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 project,
constructing and installing two 70 seat, permanent metal bleachers for the softball fields at Granite Bay
Community Park has just been completed in April of 2012.
Internationally, the Rotary Club of Granite Bay set a worldwide small club 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 undertaking a  Blood Project in Africa, a Dental Project in New Guinea, & a Safe
Water Filtration Project in Peru.
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.
This Club is shaking and moving!
