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.
Meetings are held at 5:00pm at Grace Episcopal Church
