🔍 Rotary Fun Fact of the Week:

Rotary’s motto “Service Above Self” was officially adopted in 1989, but the phrase was in use as early as 1911!

In the Spotlight: Skip Jones

We’re thrilled to share that longtime Point Clear Rotary Club member and past president Skip Jones was recently featured in Scenic 98 Coastal magazine!

In the article, “Skip Jones: An Old Salt in Fairhope” by Zeb Hargett, Skip is celebrated as one of the most civic-minded and community-driven people on the Eastern Shore. With a heart for service, a deep love of local history, and a lifetime of stories, Skip embodies the spirit of Point Clear.

As the article puts it:

“He’s a quiet, humble guy who is involved in everything that helps build community… an ‘Old Salt’ worth his weight in gold.”

We are thankful to have Skip in our club and our community!

🍷 Taste of Rotary: Sponsors Wanted — We Accept Cash, Checks, and Flattery!

We’re heating things up for this year’s Taste of Rotary on Sunday, October 26 at The Wash House, and right now, we’re on the hunt for… SPONSORS!

Why sponsors? Because scholarships, service projects, and youth programs don’t pay for themselves — and neither does the wine! 🍷✨

We’re calling on all members to channel your inner fundraiser:

  • Know a local business that loves good publicity?
  • Have a friend who owes you a favor?
  • Own a company and want your logo on everything but the dessert?

Send them our way! Big or small, every sponsorship helps us make an impact (and makes you look like a hero).

Stay tuned for more ways to help — auction items, behind-the-scenes magic, and event day hands-on fun — but for now, let’s focus on filling up that sponsor list like it’s happy hour! 🍾🥂

Let’s make this year’s Taste of Rotary the most delicious, most meaningful, and most well-sponsored event yet! Cheers to that!

One of the great mistakes is to judge polices and programs by their intentions rather than results
