Welcome
to this website and the
Rotary Club of Healdsburg,
located 70 miles north
of San Francisco in the
beautiful wine country
of Northern Sonoma County.
Our club has about 80
members and is part of
the worldwide family of
Rotary International with
32,000 clubs and 1.2 million
members in 168 countries.
Under the motto "Service
above Self", we provide
our expertise, time and
money to improve our own
town as well as communities
worldwide.
In Healdsburg we have
many ongoing projects
such as: Meals on Wheels
support, the Annual Foss
Creek Clean up Project,
the Annual Easter Egg
Hunt, the Healdsburg High
School Career Day, the
Senior Thanksgiving Lunch,
the Relay for Life Pasta
Feed, the Healdsburg Hospital
Cafeteria painting project,
multi year financial support
for the Healthcare Foundation
of Northern Sonoma County
and the Children's Bike
Safety Project.
Our Scholarship Fund,
a 501 (c) (3) foundation,
provides scholarships
to graduating Healdsburg
High School students.
The value of the fund
is currently about $160,000
and we intend to increase
this to $250,000 over
the next four years in
order to create an endowment.
We also support our local
elementary schools with
a classroom reading program
as well as a hygiene and
nutrition program: "My
Body is Healthy".
This year's Rotary International
President D.K. Lee's motto
is "Make Dreams Real".
Part of that program is
to complete Rotary's long
time efforts to eradicate
polio. Rotary has received
a $100 million challenge
grant from the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation.
This grant will be matched
by Rotary in three years
and our club is well on
its way to meet or surpass
our part of this challenge.
In addition our club is
partly funding a micro
financing organization
called Village Hopecore
in Kenya and we have supported
Safe Blood Africa in Nigeria
as well. We are currently
looking for additional
international service
projects.
Our annual fundraising
event, this year on December
13, The Rotary Crab Feed
and Auction, has been
a local tradition for
more than 25 years. In
the last few years we
have raised more than
$60,000 annually, all
of it going to support
our local and international
projects. If you are interested
in attending please contact
me at: henkpeeters@att.net
I hope you will join us
at one of our meetings
held every Monday at 12.15
pm. I am sure you will
find the meetings enjoyable
and informative.
Henk Peeters
President
Rotary Club of Healdsburg,
