A Legacy of Inclusion and Service Since 1987
The Duarte Rotary Club made history by championing equality in Rotary International. Today, we continue that mission through community service and the Four-Way Test.
The club that changed Rotary International
In 1987, the Duarte Rotary Club made history by challenging Rotary International's male-only membership policy. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling on May 4 reinstated our club and opened membership to women worldwide. Today, we honor that legacy through service, integrity, and the Four-Way Test.
