The founding of the Pasadena Rotary Club in 1920
signaled the beginning of District 5300. The District now
comprises 61 clubs and about 3000 members.
District 5300 takes pride in the Rotarians from
the District who provide a tradition of leadership to the Rotary
World. Rotarian, Jim Speers, Rotary Club of Covina served on the
Board of Directors of Rotary International. Rotarian, Bill Walk,
Rotary Club of Ontario, served as President of Rotary
International in the 1970 Rotary year. We also salute the Past
District Governors who have served District 5300.
