President’s Message

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Carlsbad!  

I am proud to serve as the 2025-26 President, working with our dedicated members to make a difference here in Carlsbad and beyond.

I am excited to champion our club’s work this year with senior communities, youth literacy causes, and a special focus on a group foster home for children in Baja California, Mexico.

We will feature meeting speakers, targeted giving, service projects, and fundraising events to support these worthy causes.

While we are so proud of the good work we do, the Rotary Club of Carlsbad is also a place to connect with others, forming lasting friendships and a worldwide network of like-minded “people of action.”

You will find each Rotary Club has its own personality. Our club meets for dinner at the end of the day, which lends to a casual, relaxed environment filled with laughter and genuine affection. 

If you'd like to learn more, please contact me to be a guest at one of our Thursday evening meetings.

I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our club!

In Grateful Rotary Service,

Kelly Schafer 

President, 2025-2026 
Rotary Club of Carlsbad
