Rotary’s motto “Service Above Self” was officially adopted in 1989, but it was first coined all the way back in 1911—proving that good service (and good slogans) never go out of style.

Summer Social Recap: Fellowship, Food & Fresh Leadership
Thank you to everyone who joined us at R Bistro for our Summer Social and Leadership Celebration! We traded in our breakfast plates for dinner napkins and spent the evening enjoying great food, even better company, and a chance to toast the year behind us.
It was the perfect mix of Rotary fellowship and fun—without a single PowerPoint in sight. We’re grateful to all who came out to celebrate and help us welcome our new leadership team.
Here’s to another great year ahead!
🍷 Taste of Rotary: Mark Your Calendar & Roll Up Your Sleeves
Planning has officially begun for this year’s Taste of Rotary, happening Sunday, October 26 at The Wash House—and we’re already cooking up something special.
As our biggest fundraiser of the year, this event fuels the scholarships, service projects, and youth programs that define who we are as a club. And like any great Rotary effort, it takes all of us to make it a success.
There will be plenty of ways to get involved—whether you want to help with logistics, donate an auction item, or lend a hand behind the scenes. But right now, we invite you to start thinking about potential sponsors—local businesses, community partners, or contacts who would be proud to support an event that gives back in such a meaningful way.
Everyone has something to contribute—and every bit counts. Let’s make this year’s Taste of Rotary our most impactful (and delicious) yet.
