Stratford Rotary Club News/Information

February 3, 2026 Regular Lunch Meeting

We had a great Zoom meeting today, with a lot of information shared, including links to all our upcoming events, which are located right here in the bulletin. Mike Suntag spoke briefly on his mental health initiative and training. I emailed the flyer to everyone today. After we discussed the District Assembly and some of its discussion points regarding membership and how to increase it among the clubs, we voted and decided to hold a breakfast meeting on Feb 10th at 8 am at the Skillet, located at 1200 Barnum Ave. We hope this morning time will provide more opportunities for new members to join Stratford Rotary. 

Next Board Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 29th, 8 pm-9 pm.

Upcoming Rotary Events

The upcoming events include Super Bowl Pool, Meal Packing Event, Mental Health Awareness Class, Rib Night, and Main Street Festive. We all need the full attention of our members, and the sooner the better to sign up for what you can help with. Early registration for these events for our club extremly assist with their success.
