The
oldest chartered club in district 5130, the Rotary Club
of Napa was first chartered in 1920, sponsored by the
Rotary Club of Oakland. From its original membership of
24 men, the club has grown to a membership of 112 men
and women in 2008. The club meets for lunch each Wednesday
at 12:00 at the Napa Elk’s Lodge located at 2840
Soscol Ave. in Napa.
The
Rotary Club of Napa has dedicated itself to the goals
of Rotary International which includes the worldwide
eradication of Polio. Rotary International’s President
for 2007-2008 is Wilfrid J. Wilkinson of Canada.
The
theme he has chosen for the year is "Rotary Shares"
a reflection of his commitment to share Rotary with
others through service.

this theme as well as several that will enhance future
operations of the club. The goals are:
