                                             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 community
businesses and professions, as well as the diversity of our community.  We meet each Friday from 12:15 to
1:30 p.m. (see Calendar Page), at Quarry Ponds Meeting Room 130, located in Quarry Ponds Shopping
Center, 5550 Douglas Blvd., Granite Bay, 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, 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. In addition, we sponsor two college scholarships at Granite Bay High 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 undertaking a  Blood Project in Africa, a Medical 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!!!!
