The Rotary Club of Surrey welcomed its new slate of officers during its Installation Dinner held on July 9, 2026 at Guildford Golf & Country Club.
Outgoing President Sam Sangha formally passed the gavel to Dr. Parveen Goel, who previously served as Club President during the 2024–2025 Rotary year. In his remarks, Sam reflected on a successful year for the club, thanking members for their unwavering support and commitment. He highlighted significant achievements, including the club reaching its highest membership levels in years and achieving one of its strongest financial positions to date. A heartfelt thank you was extended to the outgoing Board of Directors for their dedicated service to Rotary.
Looking ahead, Parveen outlined his vision for the coming year. His priorities include sustaining and expanding the club’s community initiatives, increasing support for seniors, and strengthening partnerships for international service projects. He also reflected on the meaningful impact the Rotary Club of Surrey has made over the years – from bringing smiles to children through the Starfish Pack Program, which provides food to school-aged children in need, to supporting youth leadership development through the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) and Youth Adventures in Leadership (YAIL) programs. He noted the joy experienced by seniors during the club’s annual Christmas dinners and the many other community-building projects that exemplify Rotary’s commitment to service.
The incoming Board was officially installed, ushering in a new year filled with optimism, fresh opportunities, and a continued commitment to serving the community.
