Rotary Club of Woodland

Making a difference in the lives of people in our community and around the world.

Thank you for visiting the Rotary Club of Woodland website.  Our club was founded in 1926 and our mission over the next year is to continue the traditions of the club while evolving into a more effective and active force for positive change in our community and around the world.

Join us and the over 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide in helping to improve our communities.  Our club members contribute time to improve Woodland in many ways including holding an annual Senior Citizens BBQ, volunteering for Meals on Wheels, helping with the annual FFA auction, mentoring the Woodland High School Interact Club, sponsoring young leaders to the Camp Royal Leadership Camp and the Camp Venture Entrepreneurship Camp, and contributing to the Woodland KIDS Read program.   Every year we contribute to a major capital project.  Past projects have included the Pioneer High School baseball/softball fields, bleachers and scoreboard, the children's playground at John Ferns Park, medical equipment for Woodland Hospital, the Freeman Park gazebo, the Opera House enclosure, band equipment, Gibson House improvements, the Woodland Community College electronic bulletin board, a specialized playground at Greengate School, and most recently helped to fund the new Yolo Food Bank facility. 

On the international side, we have participated in projects ranging from water wells, to dental clinics, to tsunami relief.  Recently, a club member and a doctor at the local hospital initiated a cervical cancer screening and treatment project in Nicaragua, screening over 900 women, and training/certifying a cadre of Nicaraguan medical professionals to be able to further expand the program in future years. This model has been briefed to the UN and World Health Organization for expanded application, and another local club is now initiating a similar project in Kenya.  

We do community projects every year.  If you have a project that meets our guidelines you would like us to consider, click on the Funding Request link to the left, and send it in.  Application due date extended to Oct 2nd.

We meet every Tuesday from 12:00-1:15 for lunch, a brief business meeting, and an informative program. We also have various social events throughout the year. We strive for a diverse membership that includes leaders in all facets of the community, a great group to know and learn from.  If you are looking to meet new friends, learn something interesting every week, and are searching for a way to give back, please contact us.
