A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to the Web Site of the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North – we are happy you are checking us out!

Our service club was chartered in 1959 and by giving "Service above Self", our members have been making the world a better place for more than 50 years. Our group is a blend of Santa Barbara's finest and friendliest people and our members consist of accountants, architects, business owners, doctors, lawyers and government officials.

Besides having a lot of fun, good food, and enjoying interesting programs at our weekly meetings, our primary goal is to give service, whether it is by donating our time and manpower, or by making financial contributions.

Our club, and for this reason our approximately 50 club members, are part of Rotary International. Over 1.2 million Rotarians belong to this strong worldwide family, with about 33,800 Rotary Clubs in 200 countries. The Rotary Foundation provides about 60 Million US Dollars each year for humanitarian projects, cultural exchanges and International Scholarships.

Rotary is not a secret society and does not interfere with religious or political ideas or beliefs.

We invite you to join us at one of our weekly club meetings each Wednesday beginning at Noon at Harry's Plaza Café on 3313 State Street. We encourage you to get involved and see for yourself: Once you start with Rotary, good things happen.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

Michael J. Hofmann
President 2011/12
Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North
