“Service Above Self”

Rotary is a service organization of business and community leaders united worldwide.  Rotarians are making a positive impact in our local and global communities.

The Rotary Club of San Jose

Benefiting the community and our world through action, integrity, service, and fellowship.

The Rotary Club of San Jose is the largest, most active and well-known service organization in the community. We are a leadership organization working together to make a difference. Our members include local business, nonprofit, professional and civic leaders. We form lasting friendships through our shared Rotary experiences including weekly meetings with interesting speakers, committee meetings and projects, social events and group service projects within our community and internationally.

Diversity & Inclusion

Having a diverse and inclusive Rotary Club means we value and welcome individuals of all ages, cultures, ethnicities, and races to our Club. We invite younger people, women, and minorities who support Rotary’s values, ideals, and mission to join our members in service to our community, and we strive to give all members equal opportunities to serve as leaders within our Club.

Happy New Year! No meeting on January 1st.

Los Amigos Making Spirits Bright


Audrey Fox and Sarah Janigian, co-chairs of the Los Amigos of Washington Elementary School Committee, organized volunteers to wrap the gifts the committee purchased for each student. The gift tag read, "Rotary Club of San Jose wishes you Merry Christmas/Feliz Navidad" 


Military Care Committee - Wreaths Across America


Military Care Committee Chairs Brad Baron and Megan Toeniskoetter recently mobilized volunteers to put wreaths on veterans' graves at Oak Hill Cemetery.


Paws to Consider Makes Blankets for Furry Friends


The Paws to Consider Committee chaired by Lisa Reigel and Dagmar Schildwach are making approximately 200 blankets to donate to San Jose Animal Shelter and Santa Clara County Animal Services.  They were ready to donate to HSSV after the fire. Fortunately they received too many donations and had a sufficient supply.  Pictured to the left are Dagmar Schildwach and Terri Chapman making the blankets. Pictured to the right is Lenoir Kieve's dog, Lucy, trying them out and making sure they are comfortable!
