On June 6, 1925, 150 Rotarians from the Central Coast gathered in the ballroom of the old Elk’s Club (Southeast corner of San Benito and Fifth St) for a formal presentation and acceptance of the Hollister club’s Charter.
Some of the major accomplishments Hollister Rotary has helped the community was building the Clubhouse at Bolado Golf Course, Heli-Pad at Hazel Hawkins Hospital, and 156 Hwy Landscape Entrance leading into Hollister (East of San Benito Bridge and located on Southside of the Hwy).
Rotary Club of Morgan Hill has over 100 members from Morgan Hill and surrounding communities. We are city leaders, business owners, employees, and retirees joined together to do good work in our community and form lasting friendships.
Founded in 1996, our club has been actively engaged in serving the community ever since. We are a small club with a huge heart, driven to achieve wonderful things together. Each year, the San Juan Bautista Rotary Club hosts a variety of impactful events, including the Ghost Walk to celebrate the spooky season, the Holiday Lights Parade to bring light and joy to our town during winter, and the Migrant Family Holiday Giving Project to support families in need. In the summer, we celebrate diversity and inclusion with our 1K and 5K Rainbow Run. Our club also offers community grants, food distribution in collaboration with other local organizations, academic and leadership scholarships, dictionary distribution, affordable internet access for the community, an Interact Club for high school students, and much more!

Service is the very core of Rotary’s character. As Rotarians, and as community members, we have the reasonability to find ways to improve the quality of life for those within our communities and to serve the public interest. Rotarians recognize the importance of giving back to the community.
Our club is passionate about serving the community and community service. Come join us and become one of Rotary’s people of action. We have opportunities for anyone — whatever your age or interest — who wants to improve lives in communities near and far.
Our signature events are: July 4 Firecracker Run; Jon & Ken’s Most Excellent Adventure Annual Charity Bike Ride
Our impact starts with our members, people who work tirelessly with their clubs to solve some of our community’s toughest challenges. Their efforts are supported by Rotary International, our member association and the Rotary Foundation, which turns generous donations into grants that fund the work of our members and partners around the world. Watsonville Rotary is led by our members, responsible leaders who help to carry forward our generation’s mission and values in their elected roles.
Some of local hunger programs we support are St. Joseph’s Family Food and Homeless center, Gilroy Police Dept. Annual School Supply Drive, and Compassion Center for the homeless. In education we support Interact clubs at local high schools, offer scholarships for our local high school seniors, and supporting the Youth Culinary Academy at Rebekah Children’s Services for youths at risk as part of the scholarship program.
