The Ponca City Rotary Club celebrated another successful year of service during its annual Installation Banquet, recognizing the accomplishments of the past year while welcoming new leadership.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Quiet Leadership Award to Pat Mulligan. The award honors a Rotarian whose selfless, behind-the-scenes service and unwavering dedication to the club and community exemplify Rotary's motto of Service Above Self.
T.L. Walker and Zac Robertson were also recognized as they each received their Paul Harris Fellow +7 recognition, a remarkable milestone reflecting an extraordinary commitment to The Rotary Foundation. Their generosity helps create lasting impact not only within our club but in communities around the world. The club also proudly welcomed Leon Veazy, who was officially inducted as its newest member.
Outgoing President Amanda Doran was recognized for an outstanding year of leadership. Under her direction, the club achieved every goal it set, completed the Living Hope Crib Project, built a memorial garden at Hospice of North Central Oklahoma, and launched two new fundraising events—the Rotary Champagne Brunch and the Paddles for Polio Pickleball Tournament.
Brook Lindsay was officially installed as the club's new president and shared her excitement for the year ahead under Rotary's 2026–2027 theme, Create Lasting Impact.
