Get Involved! Become a voting member History The Rolando Community Council was formed in September, 1975. The function of the council is to promote spirit of neighborhood. The council disseminates information regarding activities in the community and works closely with political leaders both at the state and local levels. Except for the summer months, the council meets monthly and usually includes representatives of San Diego City Council District 7 and the San Diego Police Department. The Rolando Community Council was incorporated in June, 2000 as a nonprofit corporation. This entitles the council to tax benefits and grants. The nonprofit designation is 501c3. Activities Since 1997 the Rolando Community Council has successfully held an annual, one day, street fair on Rolando Blvd., just south of El Cajon Blvd. The event attracts about 200 vendors of crafts, food and other merchants. We have top entertainers from the San Diego area. The event is very family oriented. It is visited by 10,000 to 15,000 people from all over the county. The event is funded by grants, fees paid by the vendors and donations. Other events sponsored by the Rolando Community Council are a monthly used book sale, annual holiday party and a walk-a-thon. The book sale is particularly popular. Many volunteers and frequent buyers and donors of books are involved. It is an opportunity for members of the community to interact while helping to raise money for charities in the community. Our monthly meetings are at 7 PM the Third Tuesday of the month at the Rolando Methodist Church. We have guest speakers and discuss issues which are of import in our community. The cost of annual membership is $7.00 per member household. Please let us know if you are interested in financial, in-kind or volunteer support of any of our programs.
