It’s a brand-new season, and the Rotary team is ready to hit the field running! With service as our game plan and friendship as our winning strategy, we’re set to score big this year. Let’s huddle up, keep moving the ball down the field, and make 2025 a championship year for making a difference!
Join us for the Halftime Show (Midyear Checkup), where club presidents will share how their clubs embody The Magic of Rotary. This event is open to ALL Rotarians and is a great opportunity to learn and exchange ideas on service projects, fundraisers, and events. Each President will have TWO MINUTES to highlight their club's work. Assistant Governors will introduce presidents by territory, and district leaders will share updates on upcoming initiatives and opportunities. There's no cost to attend, and a light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to help us plan for food.
📅 Date: 1/11/25
⏰ Time: 8 AM - 2 PM
📍 Location: Bay Waveland Yacht Club
DAC and COG meeting will follow.

This month, Rotary highlights the importance of leveraging our professional skills to serve others and advance the ideals of service, integrity, and excellence. Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to:
Uphold ethical standards in our professions.
Use our expertise to address community needs.
Mentor others and inspire future leaders.
Let’s take this opportunity to reflect on how we can use our vocations to make a difference and strengthen our communities. Together, we can turn our professional talents into a force for good!
