Program:No meeting this week as we pause to spend time with our friends and families. I would love to get a note from any one of you expressing one thing you are most thankful for...
I'll start: I am thankful for my wife Leigh and our 7 children. They have been a bigger blessing to me then I sometimes tell them.
How about you? What are you thankful for?

Member Spotlight
Wesley Joyner
"Wesley has an extensive background in commercial credit, serving as a relationship manager in the Plant City market for more than 20 years.
Joyner is a sixth generation Plant City resident on both sides of his family. His father was CEO of Farm Credit and his grandfather was a farmer. In his spare time, Joyner raises cattle.
While a skilled banker is a valuable ally in helping farmers manage the cyclical nature of the industry and plan for the future, when they have a personal connection to the industry they have insight into those challenges. “Anytime you have knowledge about an industry it makes it more comfortable to talk to your banker,” said Joyner. “I find that people bank with people and not places.”
Joyner is also an active member of the community and sits on several executive boards, including the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce (he’s the 2023 chairman of the board), the Florida FFA Foundation and the Hillsborough Cattlemen Foundation and Association. In these positions, he works to help small businesses flourish while advocating on the local and state level for the city’s agricultural businesses, similar goals he has for his banking clients.
As the fight against polio unites communities around the world, Rotary members are using time-tested methods and attention-catching new ideas to raise awareness, funds, and support toward eradicating this debilitating disease.
