THE ROTARY STORY

 

 

           Rotary is a world fellowship of business and professional people who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Rotary is the world’s first service club. The first Rotary Club was founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA on February 23, 1905 by Paul Harris. Rotary acquired its organizational name because originally membership met in rotation at various places of business.

 

            Rotary International is the world's first service club organization consisting of more than 1.2 million members who volunteer their time and talent to further the Rotary motto, Service Above Self. These service-minded men and women belong to nearly 33,000 Rotary Clubs, 534 Districts in 200 countries and 35 geographical regions worldwide. Our Rotary District 5240 was chosen in 1993 as one of the 12 Model Districts in the World.

 

            Rotarians meet weekly for fellowship and interesting and informative programs dealing with topics of local and global interest. Membership is by invitation and reflects a wide cross-section of the community representation. Rotary is not a secret organization and does not interfere with any religious or political organization.

 

            Rotary International is the Association of Rotary Clubs throughout the world. Rotary International’s headquarters are located at: One Rotary Center, 1560 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, Illinois 60201.

 

            Rotary is The Rotary Foundation which each year provides some US $60 million for International Scholarships, cultural exchanges, and humanitarian projects through out the world that touches people’s lives in their local community and ourworld community.

 

              Rotary’s mottoes are:“Service Above Self”, and “He/She Profits Most Who Serves Best”. Rotarians try to live by the Four Way Test in the things we think, say, and do:                           

 

           Is it the Truth?

           Is it Fair to all Concern?

           Will it Build Goodwill and Better Friendship?

           Will it be Beneficial to all Concern?  

 

 

            

WHAT'S MONTECITO ROTARY CLUB ?

 

           
The Montecito Rotary Club is a part of the worldwide membership of business and professional men and women who meet every week to serve and to network. Montecito Rotary meets every Tuesday from noon to 1:30 pm at the Montecito Country Club in Montecito. We are part of Rotary District 5240, which includes a portion of the central part of the State of California. District 5240 begins at the Pacific Ocean on its southwest border and runs east across the Tehachapi and Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges to our eastern-most border at Death Valley National Park. It encompasses the counties of Kern, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and a small portion of Los Angeles County.

 

 

There are currently 72 Rotary Clubs in District 5240, with approximately 3,850 members. The local clubs are Carpinteria, Carpinteria Morning, Goleta Evening, Goleta Noon, Montecito, Santa Barbara Downtown, Santa Barbara North, and Santa Barbara Sunrise. The District 5240 webpage is: www.rotarydistrict5240.org .  The Montecito Rotary Club webpage is: www.montecitorotary.org . The monthly publication of Rotary International is called: “The Rotarian,” which is available at: http://rotary.org/en/MediaAndNews/TheRotarian/Pages/ridefault.aspx

 

 

Every year the club breathes new life into it’s mission of service by electing a new Club President, Officers and Board to lead the membership. This year, in 2009-10, our president is Willuam “Bill” Lindberg, owner of The Ash Grove Group.
