The Rotary Club of San Juan Bautista, founded in 1996, is dedicated to serving throughout our community and around the world. The Rotary Club of San Juan Bautista is just one of 34,000 Rotary clubs across the globe. The first service club was established in 1905 by Paul P. Harris, "who wished to capture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth...As Rotary grew, its mission expanded beyond serving club members' professional and social interests. Rotarians began pooling their resources and contributing their talents to help serve communities in need. The organization's dedication to this ideal is best expressed in its motto: Service Above Self." (rotary.org)
