Anaheim/Fullerton Rotary Club Centennial
5:30PM – 7:30PM PST
Santa Ana was the first Rotary Club in Orange County founded in 1920 by Mac O. Robbins. Mac and company then sponsored the Anaheim Club in 1921. The Studebaker/Packard Dealer, Anaheim club member Harry D. Riley, sponsored the Fullerton Club in 1922. Between these three clubs, many other clubs were sponsored to create the Rotary landscape we have today. Neither Santa Ana nor Anaheim could host a proper centennial due to the pandemic. To celebrate our humble beginnings, Anaheim and Fullerton are inviting all Rotarians and their guests to a Centennial Celebration happy hour event at the spot it all began. Harry D. Riley's Packard Dealership is still standing today at the new Anaheim Packing District as Umami Burger in Farmer's Park. We will host food from Umami Burger and Poppy & Seed for a $25 ticket with proceeds going to RI Foundation. Beverages will be available for purchase at these establishments and the newly opening Ale House next door. Cars from the Studebaker and Packard Car Clubs have been invited. Let's Drink to Rotary in Orange County!

Thank you for this opportunity to celebrate the beginnings of Rotary in Orange County and District 5420! Hats off to Zoot and Cisca for pulling this together with their Team as we enjoy Anaheim's beautiful downtown at Umami and the Packing House!
100 Years of service to the community and the world, which significance of the impact cannot be reasonably measured or fully appreciated. Go Rotary!
