🌟 What Is Rotary All About?

At its core, Rotary is built on one simple yet powerful belief:

“To encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.”
The Object of Rotary

Since 1910, our guiding principle has been:

Service Above Self

The Rotary Club of Elk Grove is proud to be part of this global network of neighbors, leaders, and changemakers. We live out our mission by engaging in service across five key areas, known as the Five Avenues of Service.


🔹 The Five Avenues of Service

Each Avenue represents a unique way Rotarians serve their communities and the world. Here’s how we bring these values to life in Elk Grove:


🏛️ Club Service
