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!

Local Food Bank Gets Some Extra Cheer
It's Never Too Late to Share
People of Action Service Project!!
 
The Christmas season may be behind us right now but....it's snowing (Christmas-like!), and our communities still need some extra cheer (Christmas-like!), so it's never too late to share the service work of the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills over the past holiday season. 
 
The Club helped out at a local food bank by organizing and distributing food to local community members, along with providing 7 over following baskets of goodies, clothing, and other gift items.  All to help make the holidays bright and happy for many families and children in El Dorado Hills. 
 
Great job, El Dorado Hill Rotary!  
 
Children's Book Donated by Rotary Club of Lincoln
Lincoln Rotary Club Donates Books to Lincoln Public Library
 
For the past 15+ years, the Rotary Club of Lincoln has made it part of their community service work to donate $1,000 worth of children's books to the Lincoln Public Library. 
 
Karen Van Gundy, Library Coordinator, sent a note to the club about the latest books delivered to the library:
 
"Just wanted to pass along that we got our big shipment of Rotary books. They will be on display and refilled for the rest of the month on the right hand display when you first walk into the Children’s section. Thank you again to Rotary for the donation. I have attached a picture of the books that are out today." 
 
This book project is just one of many that the Lincoln Rotary Club does each year to help improve the life of community members in their town.  Great job!! 
 
 
 
 
 
El Dorado Rotary Club Led by Interact Club
Oak Ridge High School Interact Leads a Recent Club Meeting
 
It's not every day (or week) that a Rotary Club turns over its club meeting to high schoolers.  But, that is exactly what the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills did recently when they let Oaks Ridge High School Interact President, Sarah Ferrin, and her team run their weekly meeting. 
 
And, by all accounts, the Interact Club member did an outstanding job.  So good that the El Dorado Hills Rotary Club figures they will invite them back to do it again soon. 
 
What better way to engage with future Rotarians than to have them be an active part of a club meeting!  Well done, Oak Ridge High Interact!!
