The Rotary Club of Salida (official name), now in its 76th year, is commonly known as the Salida Rotary Club. While it’s true the Salida Rotary Club has met for lunch Mondays at noon ever since its formation in 1936, usually a reference to meeting time is appended when naming latter-day clubs, such as the new club formed last year, to distinguish it from the existing club(s). Officially, the new club is the Rotary Club of Salida Sunrise.
