The Riverside Rotary Club – Riverside’s first service club – was chartered in 1920 to provide support and service to meet the needs of people in our local and global community. Since then, thousands of Riverside’s business and civic leaders have volunteered their time and talents to address our community’s needs and effect positive change for their fellow Riversiders.

The 2008-2009 key theme of Rotary International President D. K. Lee is "Make Dreams Real". His focus for the year is on decreasing child mortality and building up membership by 10%.

As of December 31, 2007 we are part of 1,216,964 members with 32,814 clubs in over 200 countries. The men and women of our club are leaders in the community with a focus on service locally and internationally. If this is you, I invite you to join us for a meeting. If you like what you see, I would be honored in giving you an application for membership.

George H. Ustariz
President
