PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dona Mast

President 2011-2012

Welcome to our website, an on-line introduction to the Rotary Club of Woodland

The Woodland Rotary Club, chartered in 1926 was the first Rotary club in town. This club has sponsored two additional Woodland clubs (Sunrise and Luna Vista) and assisted with the formation of the Capay Valley Club.

We are an active organization of men and women devoted to the principles of Rotary International, which is “Service above self”, and to this community.  Over 70 members meet each Tuesday for lunch, fellowship and programs of valued information.

The motto for 2011-12, selected by Kalyan Banerjee, President of Rotary International is  Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.  Toward that end, our club will join Rotarians around the world to eliminate polio; we are very close and will continue this work until polio is just on the history pages. We will reach within to assist the rest of the world to improve the human environment by providing clean water for communities in need, assisting women to become self sustaining when in intolerable situations, helping doctors repair cleft palates with Rotaplast surgery on children, and providing prosthetic hands for those in need. We are dedicated to our scholarship program for graduating seniors, we support the local Interact club and other youth programs and needs. We have provided funds for the Opera House and their youth programs and sponsored CPR Saturday with the Red Cross, repaired the Rotary Park picnic area at the Fair Grounds and worked with Plainfield School to clean up and add a new Flag Pole.  We will continue to Rave on for Rotary (District Governor Dave Dacus’s motto for 2011-12).

If you have questions or are interested in Rotary, please call me at 530-787-3206. We would love to meet you.
