Celebrate a century of community impact! Since 1926, Coronado Rotarians have lived by the motto "Service Above Self," shaping the spirit of our island and improving lives across the globe. This landmark Centennial exhibit offers an exclusive look into the Rotary Club’s storied history, featuring never-before-seen photographs, artifacts, and personal stories. The exhibit highlights the decades-long partnership between Rotary and CHA, a collaboration that was formalized in 2024 when CHA was designated as the official repository for the club's historical records. By moving these treasures from private garages into CHA’s professional archives, 100 years of "Service Above Self" is protected and accessible for generations to come. View the archives and artifacts in the exhibit and discover how a century of dedication has nurtured the civic and cultural fabric of Coronado, from local youth programs to international humanitarian efforts. See why the Rotary Club remains a cornerstone of our community. Coronado Historical Association on Facebook
