Welcome to the Rotary Club of Chester!
Welcome to the LAB.

The Rotary Club of Chester is a dedicated group of business owners and neighbors, operating as a small but mighty team with a big heart for our mountain community. As part of District 5190, we are committed to supporting and promoting the greater Lake Almanor Basin (LAB) through hands-on service and fellowship. Guided by the Rotary motto of Service Above Self, our members work together to support local initiatives and regional tourism. We foster a welcoming atmosphere to everyone who enjoys our shores through helping with local events, championing community projects, and supporting the Pacific Crest Trail hikers each summer. The Rotary Club of Chester takes pride in making a positive, lasting impact right here at home.

Club News
The quiet tranquility around Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Highway 36 trailhead was shattered — in the best way possible — as the Rotary Club of Chester fired up the grills for their legendary Trail Angel Barbecue. On Tuesday, July 14, from 10:00am- 2:00pm, 50 weary, dirt-covered hikers descended on the trailhead for a hard-earned feast. The event was hosted by Rotary Club Member Terry Johnson and member Tyson Graham flipped burgers with finesse.
The Rotary Club of Chester is a dedicated organization made up of community members who share a passion for giving back and strengthening the Lake Almanor Basin. Through volunteerism, fundraising, and community events, the club works to support local youth, families, and future leaders while creating activities that bring residents and visitors together.
 

A Memorial Day weekend tradition, the craft fair held over Memorial Day weekend is always a draw for locals and visitors alike. Guests were able to browse and support local crafters while enjoying delicious food, specialty popcorn, snow cones, and one-of-a-kind crafts.

The Mother & Son Ball is a tribute to those women who proudly present their sons to the world with love, support, and guidance. What an unforgettable evening witnessing these mother and son bonds flourish, filled with joy and love. We're already eagerly anticipating the magic of next year! Heartfelt gratitude to all who attended. Special thanks to Elegant Farmer for the lovely venue and tasty cuisine by Cowboy Joe.
The Father Daughter Dinner Dance was a smashing success! Great music, proud papas, happy pricnesses, dancing, and painted fingernails…. This event had it all!
