75th Anniversary Gala

Celebrating 75 years of the Rotary Club of Midland

 

The Rotary Club of Midland has been shaped, strengthened, and inspired by the dedication of our members, past and present. Their commitment to Service Above Self, whether through leadership, hands-on-projects, fundraising, or quiet acts of generosity - has helped build the foundation of impact we stand on today.

On May 13, 2026, we gathered at the Midland Cultural Centre to reflect on that legacy, shared stories, and recognized the Rotarians whose contributions have brought Rotary's mission to life. This evening was about celebrating the people who have made “Service Above Self” more than a motto, but a lived tradition.

We were joined by fellow Rotarians, community leaders, and partners as we reflected on 75 Years of Service while also looking toward the future. It was a wonderful celebration of the Rotarians who have shaped the history of Rotary in Midland and continue to inspire its future.

Thank you to all who attended this special evening.
