2026-27 President

2026-27 Committee Choices Available Now

It’s committee time. My term as President is about to begin. That means we have a whole new slew of committee chairs that are excited to welcome you to their committees. There are more than 30 committees to choose from.
Make your Selection HERE
If you wonder why I know so many people in our club, it is because I serve on a lot of different committees. Some are one or two meetings and then coordinating volunteers. Some are more intensive, like reviewing grants for international projects. And some allow you to get up in front of the club and make introductions or lead the Pledge. All of them offer different perspectives of the club and attract different kinds of Rotarians.
Rotary is proof that you can put aside differences and come together every week to build community and change the world. Make this the year that you try a new committee and meet a new Rotarian.

Thanks for signing up. => 2026-27 Committee Selection Form
