Welcome to 2026, Point Clear Rotary!

As we officially turn the page into a new year, we are excited to kick off 2026 with momentum, meaningful programming, and continued connection. Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment as we move forward together.

This Thursday, January 8, we look forward to welcoming our featured speaker, Ed Rogers, whose extensive background in public affairs, government relations, and strategic advisory work brings a national and global perspective to our club conversation. His depth of experience across the public, private, and political sectors promises a timely and insightful discussion.

We are also pleased to host Mrs. Gardner, who will be joining us with our November and December Students of the Month. Recognizing these outstanding students and celebrating their achievements remains a cornerstone of our commitment to youth and education, and we are grateful for the opportunity to spotlight their accomplishments.

🌍 Newsletter Fun Fact

Rotary has a long-standing commitment to thought leadership and global storytelling. The Rotarian magazine, first published in 1911, has served for more than a century as Rotary’s flagship publication. Over the decades, it has chronicled Rotary’s impact around the world—sharing stories of service, innovation, and leadership while connecting members across generations and continents. Today, it remains a powerful platform for amplifying Rotary’s mission and reinforcing the organization’s global reach and values.

The great aim of education is not knowledge, but action.

Herbert Spencer
