Welcome to a new year!!
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
It is an honor to serve as President of the Rotary Club of Palestine for the 2026–2027 Rotary year. Thank you for the confidence you have placed in me. I am excited to begin this journey with each of you as we continue serving our community together. This year, our focus is The Art of Giving. Giving is at the heart of everything we do as Rotarians. It isn't measured only by dollars donated or hours volunteered—it is found in the encouragement we offer, the friendships we build, the hands we lend, and the hope we bring to others.
As we move through this Rotary year, I encourage each of you to embrace The Art of Giving by becoming involved, inviting others to experience Rotary, and continuing to serve with enthusiasm and compassion. Together, we can strengthen our club, deepen our fellowship, and leave a lasting impact on our community. Thank you for your commitment to Rotary and for the many ways you give of yourselves. I look forward to serving alongside you as we make this a memorable and meaningful year.
Jodi Davis
President
2026-2027
Yours in Rotary,
Jodi
