About Our Club
What is Rotary?
Our club – Visalia Sunset Rotary – is a group of friends who come together and make a real difference in our community, PLUS have tons of fun!!
We meet at 4:45 PM on most Mondays at Visalia Rawhide, so join us and unwind! See our Club Events for details!
Our membership boasts everyone from community leaders to “up and comers” – so yes, sometimes we do make it a family affair! We make monetary donations, participate in “hands on” projects and use our vocations as a way to help others.
Here’s a little more about our bigger picture…
