PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Rotary International is the largest service organization in the world. Rotary is made up of more than 32,000 clubs and over 1.2 million members worldwide. The object of Rotary is to foster the ideal of service above self.

The Rotary Club of Bonsall is proud to be part of Rotary’s long tradition of community service. Our goal is to add value and to improve the Bonsall/Fallbrook community. Our Club is small by Rotary standards. But we don’t see that as a problem, however, because it allows members to get to know one another, and to build lasting friendships and business relationships. Our members comprise a cross-section of the community, consisting of business managers, entrepreneurs, governmental leaders and professionals.

For the past fourteen years, the Bonsall Rotary Club has raised thousands of dollars through its major fundraiser – Wine, Brews & Blues Festival -- held each May. All of the proceeds from the event are returned to the local community to support such organizations as the 4H Club, REINS, Boys and Girls Club and Bonsall Education Foundation. Over the years, the Bonsall Rotary Club has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to nearly 50 charities.

We meet for breakfast every Thursday morning. You are invited to be our guest at any meeting to see what the Bonsall Rotary Club is all about.
