Rotary Club of Newtown – 2026–2027 Kick-Off
As the Rotary Club of Newtown officially launched the 2026–2027 year this week as I want to reiterate that it is truly an honor to serve as your President. I am grateful for your confidence, and I look forward to working alongside each of you. My vision this year is centered on “We are better together” and creating lasting change through leadership, fellowship, service, and community impact.
Together We Lead. Together We Serve. Together We Create Lasting Legacies.
As your president, let me highlight that we have something special – a club strengthened by friendship, shared purpose, and a unique blend of seasoned wisdom and fresh perspectives. I want to acknowledge that together, you all help create an environment where experience meets innovation; where every member can contribute, grow, and lead.
This year, I want to help strengthen our culture of stewardship, transparency, and collaboration through a clear leadership structure and engagement membership. Let us support diversity in the communities and projects we support. With the ideas and leadership, we bring to the table, we can create even greater impact.
In my presentation during the meeting, I shared the club's strategic priorities, annual roadmap, and outlined quarterly focus areas, including membership growth, service projects, fundraising efforts, community engagement, and leadership transition planning.
I also introduced the members to the club's committee structure and leadership teams that will drive initiatives in youth development, literacy, membership growth, communications, community engagement, fundraising, financial stewardship, and governance throughout the year.

As Paul Harris once said, “Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves."
Let's achieve great results this year—and do it together as we take the Rotary Club of Newtown to new heights.
