SINCE 1944, THE MARTINEZ CA ROTARY CLUB HAS BEEN MAKING
A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY, THE WORKPLACE, AND THE WORLD.
The Rotary Club of Martinez is a community-focused, non-sectarian, and apolitical organization dedicated to "Service Above Self." As part of Rotary International, with 1.2 million members worldwide, we aim to make a positive impact locally. We meet twice a month at Grace Episcopal Church, where our gatherings feature engaging speakers on a range of timely topics. Our members also enjoy regular social events, creating a strong sense of camaraderie. Through scholarships, support for seniors, and community partnerships, we actively contribute to the wellbeing of Martinez, helping to nourish, uplift, and strengthen our community.
