The club provides scholarships annually. More than $270,000 in scholarships have been awarded in the last 45 years.
The Rotary Club of Clear Lake also provides dictionaries to all third graders in the Konocti Unified School District.
More than 3,100 dictionaries have been provided since the program began in 2005, and in 2016 the group plans to hand out about 250 dictionaries.
The group also hosts the annual Community Christmas Dinner and Celebration. This is the 23rd year for the event. For 2015, more than 900 folks enjoyed a delicious, free dinner, and more than 500 children shared their Christmas wishes with Santa and received a photo and a gift. Free warm clothing, coats and blankets were provided to all.
This year, a portion of the seafood boil proceeds will be contributed to the Lake County fire survivors program through the Lake Area Rotary Club Association.
Notable among the numerous other projects the club has completed since its inception in 1973 is sponsorship of the Safe House for Teens, contributions toward St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake's new emergency room and installations of bus stop shelters.
The Rotary Club of Clear Lake also worked for and paid for the dedication for a portion of Highway 53 to be designated as the Veterans Memorial Highway and other projects too numerous to name since our inception in 1973.
Rotarians are a diverse group, different in many ways, yet united in the goal of contributing to the community.
