About our Rotary Club:
The Rotary Club of Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise was chartered in May 1987 and locally serves the City of Clayton and the Clayton Valley area of Concord. The club is involved in many projects around the world but also has projects that are important in the local community as well.
The list below will give you an idea of some of the local projects that we are involved in. We also have some regional and several international projects as well. If you are interested in getting involved in a fun loving group that enjoys helping others Rotary might be for you. Our Club President, Secretary and the entire club invite you to come visit us...
Adopt-A-Family Program - Our club supports several needy families with gifts and food items for the Christmas holidays.
Camp Royal (youth leadership) - Camp Royal is located in the Trinity Alps near Hayfork, CA. It is a week long, summer camp, leadership training experience for juniors (to be seniors) high school students. It invites several motivational speakers and community leaders to speak and teach during the week. Speakers are flown in and out of the Hayfork airport by volunteer Rotarian pilots.
Camp Venture (business/entrepreneurship) - Camp Venture is a 4 day, summer camp, entrepreneur experience for juniors (to be seniors) high school students. It is designed to help teach the students how to run their own businesses after graduation. It is held at a Bay Area educational facility.
Clayton Library Foundation - Each week the regular speakers at our club sign and donate a book that is donated to the Clayton Library in lieu of a speaker’s gift. The club provides the books at the direction of the Clayton librarian then completes the process by giving the book to the library.
Junior Optimist Baseball League - We donate money to the league and they provide surplus or out dated equipment and uniforms that we in turn donate to our Twin Club project in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico.
Local Park Programs and Street Improvements - We are working with the City of Clayton to repair and update the Clayton Community Park and the work there should be done soon! Markham Park, Concord, is a 4 year old environmental project where we help restore the plants and the grounds in the gardens of Markham Park, Concord’s arboretum by the donation of labor and money.
Via Concord’s “Adopt-A-Block ” program, we do litter pick up on Clayton Road between Ayres and Ygnacio on a quarterly basis.
We have “adopted” the Cabin Trail in Mt Diablo State Park and provide routine maintenance on a regular basis.
Rotary International Polio Eradication Program - Since its beginning in 1987, our club has been donating to The Rotary Foundation for the world-wide eradication of Polio. Each member has pledged to donate as least $100 a year and so far has donated over $145,000. We are nearing our goal!
