About Rotary

Chartered on October 4, 1994, the Rotary Club of Sunriver-La Pine is dedicated to service to youths, seniors and low-income people in the local communities, in the workplace and around the globe. Community members and business leaders are invited to join a Rotary Fellowship to network with others who are part of a global network of professionals seeking world peace and understanding. As community volunteers, Rotarians reach out, build, support and organize to better local and global communities.  

 

Where Does This Money Go?

Our focus is South Deschutes County, where we are committed to enhancing lives through support of education, family health, arts enrichment, and appreciation of our treasured natural environment. Some examples of our grant recipients are:

 

  • CASA of Central Oregon
  • Family Access Network
  • Healthy Beginnings
  • La Pine Community Kitchen
  • La Pine Elementary School Programs

  • La Pine Park and Recreation
  • Care & Share
  • Rising Stars Preschool
  • Sunriver Music Festival
  • Sunriver Stars Community Theatre
  • Tech Trek Central Oregon

The generosity of community members like yourselves makes it possible to continue the Rotary model of “Service above Self.” We can’t do it without you!

To learn more about Rotary and the work we do locally and internationally, we invite you to join us at our weekly meetings, Wednesday mornings at 7:30 am at the Sunriver Lodge. We offer seasonal memberships and would love to talk to you about joining Rotary.
