In January 2026 we celebrated our 100th year serving the world. We had a locally catered meal at the Hall at Giddings Park. Our guest speakers included District Governor Bob Oborn and Geneva president Corinne Ball. Special  proclamations by Mayor Steven SEKANINA, County Commissioner Casey kozlowski, State and Representative David Thomas. Our main speaker and historian Beverly Ghent Skrzynski was lovely. Our emcee and president Emily Fuller keep the program rolling as was excellent. Reverend Ron Mowry provided an inspiring Invocation and closed with a wonderful Benediction. Fred Burazer provided some light music to keep the affair up beat. Gabe Pytel had some membership remarks and presented Don Burkholder a Legacy award. Great attendance with over 75 people on a cold January day!

We had one our most successful fundraiser to date with the 2025 Jefferson Rotary Club Father's Day Dash! The 5k course now tuns through the Historic Jefferson Depot. We had over 125 participants between our Free Kids Run and our 5k Dash. We added a free 1 mile walk too! The local sponsors out did themselves too!
