Celebrate a century of community impact. Since 1926, Coronado Rotarians have lived by the motto “Service Above Self,” shaping the spirit of Coronado 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 the Coronado Historical Association (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.
The archives and artifacts in the exhibit show 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.

The Green of West Plaza: 90+ Years of The Coronado Lawn Bowling Club celebrates over 90 years of the Coronado Lawn Bowling Club (CLBC) with an emphasis on its history, community involvement, and contribution to the sport of lawn bowling. The bilingual English/Spanish exhibit features trophies and medals won by members of the CLBC, highlighting the skill and sportsmanship that women and men have excelled at both on a national and international level.
To complement the successes of the club, the exhibit explains the game of lawn bowls along with the equipment used. Very little equipment is necessary to play bowls, making it an accessible sport for all demographics. Lawn bowling is one of the few sports that allows women and men to compete together on an equal platform regardless of age.
