Welcome to Rotary District 5180 from District Governor Megan Ellinghouse
 
Greetings!
 
Rotary District 5180 is a vibrant network of 36 Rotary clubs serving Sacramento and the surrounding areas of Northern California. United by a shared commitment to service, leadership, and fellowship, our clubs bring together neighbors, friends, and community leaders who believe in the power of kindness and take action to create lasting positive change.
 
Our clubs are the heartbeat of their communities. From supporting food banks and mentoring youth to improving parks, funding scholarships, and advancing literacy, District 5180 Rotarians step up wherever they’re needed most. Every project reflects our belief that when caring people work together, we can make a real difference in the lives of others.
 
Beyond our neighborhoods, we are part of something even bigger. As members of Rotary International, we help tackle some of the world’s toughest challenges—eradicating polio, providing clean water and sanitation, promoting peace, and strengthening health systems. Through these efforts, District 5180 connects local compassion to global impact.
 
Whether you’re searching for a way to give back, grow as a leader, or build lifelong friendships, Rotary offers a place where your talents and passion can shine. We invite you to discover how Rotary District 5180 is transforming lives—across the street and around the world.
 
If you’re curious to learn more, please click “Contact Us” on this page. We’d love to hear your story and connect you with a friendly Rotarian who can answer your questions. Together, we can do so much good!

Rotary Clubs of Folsom, Historic Folsom and Folsom Lake
 
Here's another great Rotary project where multiple clubs came together to work on a multi-year project.
 
Rotary Clubs of Folsom, Historic Folsom and Folsom Lake worked together to put up a greenhouse and install some benches at a local pickle ball court (yes, pickle ball has taken over -- haha).
 
Take a look at this great group of Rotarians who are serving their communities and making lasting positive changes to improve the lives of their fellow neighbors.
 
Well done!!

Rotary Clubs of Arden Arcade, Elk Grove and Marysville
 
Wonderful things happen when Rotary Clubs come together and do joint projects. That's what happened with the Rotary Clubs of Arden Arcade, Elk Grove and Marysville worked together to find just the right parks in which to place AEDs within their local communities.
 
What is an AED??
 
AED - Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a lightweight, portable device that can save lives when help may not be able to arrive in time. The device delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart when it detects an abnormal rhythm and changes the rhythm back to normal. Wonderful!!
 
Thank you, Rotarians, for making your communities a safer and better place to work, play, and live!

Here's the 2025-2026 District Leaders
It's a new Rotary year with a new group of District 5180 leaders from our 36 clubs throughout the Greater Sacramento region.  This leadership team has been preparing for their year for many months and there are great plans to put into action the Rotary International's theme of "Unite for Good" as they guide their clubs into being "People of Action" in service. 
 
Welcome to a new Rotary year!! 
 
People of Action Showcase #6
Rotary Club of Granite Bay
 
The Rotary Club of Granite Bay has been working on a very special community service project since 2018.  Here's a bit of history on their latest addition to their project at Granite Bay Community Park....
 
Starting 2018, they began building The Walk of Honor Armed Services Memorial at the Park. They added 50 ft flagpoles for the US flag, along with the five military branches. In 2019, a bench was added dedicated to Victor Dew, a Granite Bay soldier killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010, and in 2020 the club raised the POW/MIA flag at the site.
 
The Club's 2024-2025 project was to add a cement walkway with 4 foot tall display walls and benches that will have engraved bricks with the names of service members with their military emblem. More areas to recognize other service members will be available.

On September 29, 2024, the Club held a special ceremony and an Annual Gold Star Mother's Day event at The Walk of Honor to dedicate the latest addition to the memorial.
 
Great job, Granite Bay Rotary!!!
People of Action Showcase #5
Rotary Club of Rancho Cordova
 
Although many clubs provide dictionaries to third graders, the Rotary Club of Rancho Cordova sees their Dictionary Project still coming to the top as one of their most coveted projects. 
 
From Mike Passof....."Our community, City leadership and fellow Rotarians rally around this project to make sure it comes off without a hitch.  From our scheduling with the individual Principles, to the “Labeling Party” to the deliveries with many of our City Leaders by our sides, many citizens of our community are deeply affected by this project."
 
Great job, Rotarians!!  We love giving fun, entertaining and educational materials to young children.  For many of the third graders, the dictionary might be the only book they own as theirs and...it might be the only book the family has in their home.  So well done and thanks for being faithful to this project each year!!!
