Point Clear Rotary Club

Don’t Make Us Chase You Down at Breakfast

Save yourself (and us) the trouble — check in online before you roll in! It’s quick, it’s easy, and it earns you instant “organized person” bragging rights.

The Point Clear Rotary Club is honored to welcome Dr. Stephen Phillippi, Chair of Community Health Science & Policy at the LSU School of Public Health.

Dr. Phillippi brings over three decades of experience in developing, managing, and evaluating behavioral health and justice programs across the country. He serves as both the Director of the Institute for Public Health & Justice and the Founding Director of the Center for Evidence to Practice, where his work focuses on bridging research and policy to create sustainable, evidence-based programs in communities nationwide.

A proud Louisianan, Dr. Phillippi earned his PhD from LSU, MSW from Tulane, and BA from Loyola New Orleans. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinically Certified Forensic Counselor, as well as a Full Professor with Tenure teaching Master’s and PhD students.

His groundbreaking work has earned numerous awards, including:

• The 2022 Jim Finks Endowed Chair in Health Promotion
• The 2013 National Champion of Change Award from the MacArthur Foundation for juvenile justice reform
• The 2015 National Association of Social Workers Spotlight Recognition for leadership in social work
• The 2016 National Legislative Research Award from the National Conference of State Legislatures
• The 2018 LSUHSC School of Public Health Faculty of the Year Award

Dr. Phillippi’s contributions to behavioral health and justice reform have shaped state and national policy, advancing prevention, intervention, and translational research that improves lives and strengthens communities.

We look forward to learning from his expertise and leadership in public health, social justice, and evidence-based policymaking.

🍲 Point Clear Rotary Joins Kiwanis Gumbo Cook-Off!

Our club will be cooking up some fun this Saturday at the Kiwanis Gumbo Cook-Off at the Fairhope Amphitheatre! A huge thank you to Ross for preparing his soon-to-be-famous gumbo, and to everyone helping with setup, supplies, and serving throughout the day.

We’ll be on site starting at 8:00 AM, flying the Rotary tent high and spreading some Rotary fellowship (and great food) in the community. Come out, taste the competition, and cheer on the Point Clear Rotary team!

🌍 Newsletter Fun Fact

Rotary began its fight against polio in 1979, launching a project to vaccinate 6 million children in the Philippines. What started as one small initiative quickly grew into a global mission.

By 1985, Rotary had established PolioPlus, the first and largest internationally coordinated private-sector effort to eradicate a disease. In partnership with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and later the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rotary has helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries.

Since that first campaign in the Philippines, Rotary members have contributed over $2.6 billion and countless volunteer hours to the cause. Polio cases have decreased by more than 99.9% worldwide, with only a handful of cases remaining in a few regions.

Rotary’s unwavering commitment proves what’s possible when people unite behind a shared purpose — a world where no child will ever suffer from polio again.

You’ve got five sweaty guys in short pants; don’t make it more complicated than you need to.
