Rotary's Causes

Take a book, return a book.  Our library, created by a partnership with the Friends of the Modoc County Library and the Niles Hotel, is enjoyed by locals and visitors to our community.

Since 1956, the Modoc High School Block M Basketball Tournament has offered a  quality experience for competing teams and spectators.

The Rotary Clubs of Alturas help the Alturas Chamber of Commerce judge parade float entries.

Alturas Rotary is proud that this long-standing annual fish derby remains as it was initially intended - to provide a day for families to get together and have a good time.

Teams participate in a great day of golf, socializing, and fundraising for community projects and scholarships. Local businesses and individuals supported the event.

Guests join together to celebrate the holiday season and savor a relaxing atmosphere and traditional high tea eats.  Raffle items draw in funds for worthy service projects.

The Modoc Middle School Interact club brings youth together to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self.

Local 4-H and FFA  members show their animals and participate in a livestock judging contest.  Market animals are auctioned after the Awards Ceremony.

This autumn festival features beer from various breweries and traditional german sausage.  Proceeds will provide funding for enhancements to the Alturas Main Street Park.

Camp RYLA is a youth leadership training camp for High School Seniors and tomorrow’s leaders. Students build communication and problem-solving skills while having fun.

The Alturas and Alturas Sunrise Rotary Clubs annually sponsor students from the Modoc Middle School.  REGL graduates often join the Interact Club to further their leadership skills.

Annual hands-on projects engage members and help our community. The day is a great way to revitalize our club, attract  new members and generate publicity for Rotary.

The club provides financial and hands-on  support to youth, seniors, and Rotary International for projects such as scouting, Little League teams, Modoc Last Frontier Fair, and senior meals.

Providing scholarships and international exchange opportunities for students to interact with diverse people and ideas early may positively impact their school years and beyond.

Our club understands the winning combination of having fun while we serve.  We take time to enjoy family, friends, and fellow Rotarians during meetings and events.

District grants are matched with club funds to accomplish projects and activities that address needs in our community and communities abroad.
