Carmel by the Sea Rotary Club
Transforming Lives
Through Action
Welcome to the Rotary Club of Carmel by the Sea
Where, if you want to make the world a better place- there’s no better place, to be.
Our weekly meetings bring together people who have a diverse variety of backgrounds, but share a common passion – service to others.
Our members actively engage in projects which benefit humanity and the environment, both near and far.
We always welcome like-minded, high integrity people who want to make great new friends, find out what is going on in the local community, and activate the power of Rotary’s global organization to make our community, and the world - a better place. If that is you, please apply to be considered for membership.
In Rotary, any individual can have a real impact if they choose to.
“Ours is not the task of fixing the world all at once, but of mending the part within our reach” -Clarissa Pinkola Estes
