New President

Josh Vandever Is New Rotary President

Josh Vandever on July 1, 2025, began his year as president of the Rotary Club of La Grange, accepting the gavel from Hannah Janda upon the completion of her term.

Hannah represents Fayette Savings Bank, while Josh is director of the Fayette County Emergency Medical Service.

During Hannah's year, the club not only grew in membership but also set new records in service, fund-raising, and contributions to The Rotary Foundation.

Backing the Band

The La Grange Rotary Club has stepped up to become a Platinum Sponsor of the Mighty Leopard Band for its concert in Carnegie Hall next March. The local service club contributed $1,500 toward the band's trip to New York City. Rotary's fund-raisers like the County Fair Hamburger Booth and the upcoming Oktoberfest in La Grange help provide support for worthwhile efforts both locally and globally. Flanked by Rotarians Caleb Parks and Leonard Nuckolls, club president Hannah Janda presents the oversized check to Lep band director Chris Cooper.

Gavel is passed

A New Year Begins

Kyle Hartmann officially passes the gavel to new Rotary President Hannah Janda at the July 3 meeting. A final report on Kyle's year showed the club donated just over $51,000 this past year to charities, causes and scholarships -- from local children's programs to worldwide humanitarian organizations.

Juneteenth is coming
