Be Part of History — Host a Table at the 98th Annual 8th Grade Honor Roll!

🌟 Be Part of History — Host a Table at the 98th Annual 8th Grade Honor Roll! 🌟

We are just one month away from Rotary’s signature event—now in its remarkable 98th year—the Rotary 8th Grade Honor Roll on May 14, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM, an extraordinary celebration honoring the brightest young leaders from schools across the metro.

This is not just an event—it's a legacy. Over nearly a century, our 8th Grade Honor Roll has recognized students who would go on to become Congressmen, Mayors, elected officials, award-winning Hollywood directors, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. It’s a shining example of Rotary’s commitment to Leadership, Character, Scholarship, and Service.

✨ This is your once-a-year opportunity to dine with the future leaders of our city, our state, and our country.

We still need 40 more Rotarian Table Hosts to make this year’s celebration truly unforgettable.

Let’s make year 98 the best one yet. Your presence matters.

Governor Tom Kerfoot April 2025 Message
Although it was hard to tell with our weather last week, Spring is finally here. As we get back out and start planning those spring yard projects, think about what we do as Rotarians to protect the environment worldwide.
 
April is Environmental Month. As one of Rotary’s Seven Areas of Focus, we are committed to Protecting the Environment. We support the activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability and foster harmony between communities and the environment.
 
How do we help achieve this? We tackle these issues the way we always do: coming up with and supporting projects, using connections to change policy and planning for the future. We are empowering communities by providing access to grants and other available resources to embrace local solutions and encourage innovation to address the causes of climate change and environmental degradation.
