We are excited to welcome the Next 1 Up team to share how they are empowering youth, strengthening mental health awareness, and inspiring positive change in Ponca City. As a Veteran and Native-American owned nonprofit, their mission focuses on leadership development, community engagement, and providing vital support to help individuals rise to their next level.
A new year means new opportunities to serve and make a difference. While we are still finalizing the details for our January Service Project, we would love to hear from you!
What needs do you see in our community? Is there a local organization we could support, a hands-on project that fits our mission, or a creative way for Trailblazers to give back together?
Share your ideas, big or small. Your input helps us create projects that truly impact Ponca City and reflect the heart of who we are as Trailblazers — people of action who show up, serve well, and unite for good.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Tuesday Talk. We loved learning more about the University Center and the incredible ways they support our community.
And can you believe their foundation now provides $100,000 in scholarships every year? Such an amazing impact.
Thank you to everyone who came out to wrap, organize, and even fluff trees at our December Service Project. We saved the Marland's Place team so much time and helped them get ready for their Christmas event. Our hearts and their halls are a little brighter now!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
You asked, we listened
Thank you to everyone who filled out the member survey. Your feedback matters and we learned a lot. One of the biggest takeaways was that members would love a second meeting each month along with a service project that floats to different days.
Starting in January, we will now meet twice a month. The first and third Tuesday will be our regular meetings and our service project will land on a fun random day. We are excited to introduce our 3rd Tuesday meetings named Trailblazer Spotlight Night. These evenings will help us learn more about Rotary as a whole, offer trainings, and give each of our Trailblazers a chance to shine. Throughout the year we will invite members to share what they do both in the community and beyond.
Stay tuned for more details and get ready for new opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together.
We are entering the final stretch for Crawfest sponsorships with VIP Early Entry and only have a few weeks left to secure partners for this amazing event. On December 15th we will publish our final sponsorship call and we would love your help spreading the word. On December 31st at Midnight, the opportunity for VIP Early Entry will end.
Please share the post with local businesses, friends, and anyone who might want to support a community focused event that pours directly back into Ponca City. Your outreach truly makes a difference and helps us continue to Unite For Good.
Together we can fill every spot and make Crawfest bigger than ever!
