Rotary is an organization of business people who volunteer their time, talents, friendship, and funds to better the community they live in through their local Rotary Club, and to better the rest of the world through Rotary International. For example, Rotary International is the prime force in the effort to eradicate polio worldwide. As an organization Rotary has over 1.3 million members worldwide.
Each Rotary club has a personality and Mission San Rafael Club boasts a ‘renowned’ Kazoo Band, the development of Rotary Island, and, capping it off, origination of Project Tooth Fairy.
Join us for lunch and see what Rotary at Mission San Rafael is like. We serve with fun. Our luncheon meetings feature speakers from the community on topics of interest to all who live here.

Carolers - R - Us !!
OK, it's not exactly a White Christmas here in sunny California!! But still: 19 club members plus their families friends came out in full-force to sing for the members of Senior Access' Wilfred George Adult Day Center in Terra Linda and Tam House residents in San Anselmo. We were gratefully lead by Yohann Anderson, without whom we would have sounded like Santa's Elves on Dramamine.
The pictures don't do the afternoon justice! Our mission was to bring holiday joy and light to people and to join each other in Rotary Fellowship. It seems we accomplished both!

For the second time this year, four teams of Rotary Club of Mission San Rafael members (Culley Casey & John Rickards, Susanne Karch & Carl Ilg, Mike Green and Matt Broadway, Cal Farnsworth and Jack Wilkinson) worked with no less than five San Rafael Fire Department Engine Companies and 15 Fire Inspectors & Fire Marshalls to install high-end smoke & carbon monoxide detectors in the homes of 54 San Rafael Seniors. And what a true Community Service event it was! That brings our 2011 total of detectors installed to 83!

This year, for the first time, MSRR members (plus a Rotarian from another club and 2 "Friends of Rotary") joined forces to provide nutritious, tasty and fun groceries & toiletries for the Seniors who live at Tam House in San Anselmo.
Tam House was founded in 1979 through a coalition between the Ross Valley Ecumenical Housing Association and the Ross Valley Rotary Club. Their visionary mission was to provide a unique style of community living for independent low-income adults 63 years and older. Today there are 2 houses in downtown San Anselmo with private apartments for up to 21 single seniors. Each resident has chores to do and a chef prepares a delicious dinner each day. This housing option is truly a gift to our community!
There are often apartments available --- to find out more or submit an application please contact Chris Highland, Manager at 415-457-5633 or

For over 75 years, students and host families have broadened their horizons through Rotary Youth Exchange. More than 80 countries and over 8,000 students participate in the program each year, which is administered at the regional level by Rotary districts and at the local level by Rotary clubs.
For the first time in over 20 years, RC of Mission San Rafael is participating in the Youth Exchange (YE) Program with not one but TWO exchange students. This year we will be the home host club for Aaron Chiarolla, student at Marin Catholic, who will be living with two different host families in Vicenza, Italy during his Junior year of high school. Aaron will be hosted by the RC of Vicenza, Italy and is thrilled to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live abroad which is provided by Rotary International, District 5150 and RC of Mission San Rafael. Our club is very, very lucky to have such a stellar young man representing us half-way around the world!
