Community Service
Rotary of San Rafael Manor
Rotary of San Rafael Manor is the most significant community project undertaken by the Rotary Club of San Rafael to date. The Manor is a 99-unit low-cost senior citizens housing complex on Fifth Avenue just west of downtown in San Rafael. The Manor was developed and financed through the hard work and creativity of the Club's members. Beginning with an elementary school campus that was declared surplus by the City of San Rafael in 1980, a multi-story residential structure was added and dedicated in 1983. Club members remain actively involved as the officers and directors of the Manor.
In 2004 the club's Centennial Project was to construct a garden for the seniors that includes areas for them to plant whatever they choose in 26 planters, atria for shade and sitting, fruit trees, gardening equipment, and other site amenities. The garden provides residents with a beautiful space for recreation, relaxation and activities.

Blood Drive
Each year, Rotarians organize blood drives to give the gift of life. Drives are held in conjunction with the Blood Centers of the Pacific in the San Francisco Bay Area. Every year, 20% or more of our club's members donate blood in a Club-wide drive.
