Christmas has packed up the tinsel, New Year’s is warming up the confetti cannons, and Mardi Gras season is officially revving its parade engines! King cakes are being sliced, beads are flying, throws are calling our name, and somewhere a marching band is already practicing. 💜💛💚
As we step into a season of sparkle, parades, and just one more slice of king cake, it’s also time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
✨ Let the 2026 service projects begin! ✨
New year. New goals. Same Rotary spirit served with a little extra glitter. 🎉🎭

🌟 December is Rotary Disease Prevention & Treatment Month! 🌟
This month, Rotary shines a light on one of our key areas of focus: Disease Prevention and Treatment. Rotarians around the world work to improve access to essential healthcare, support medical professionals, promote mental health, and continue the fight against diseases like polio.
We’d also love to spotlight the great work happening right here at home! Send in any local projects your club is doing so we can highlight the good!
