Los Banos Rotary Club History

The Los Banos Rotary Club has a long and fairly well documented history.

The Rotary Club of Los Banos was organized on June 11, 1940 by a group of citizens known as the Cosmic Club. Today, the Los Banos Rotary (Club 585) continues to support and serve not only our local community, but regional and international Rotary Projects as well.
