🌌 What does a Rotary meeting look like in space?

For astronaut and Rotarian Samantha Cristoforetti, it means floating aboard the International Space Station while sharing breathtaking views of Earth with fellow members back home. Carrying her Rotary Club banner with her, she reminds us that service, connection, and community know no boundaries... not even gravity.

Her journey - from a small village in the Italian Alps to commanding missions in space - is a powerful testament to dreaming big and staying committed to your path.

Rotary truly reaches around the globe… and beyond. 🌍✨

✨ Scholar Spotlight: Meet Bernsley Bertrand ✨

Bernsley’s journey is one of determination, heart, and hustle.

During his senior year of high school, Bernsley moved 40 minutes away—but didn’t let that slow him down. Instead, he pushed forward, enrolling in an early college program while finishing high school.

Inspired by his mother, a nurse who loves what she does, Bernsley discovered his own passion for healthcare through volunteering at hospitals and nursing homes. Today, he’s pursuing his Associate Degree in Nursing at Palm Beach State College—with plans to continue on to his bachelor’s degree.

But his journey hasn’t been easy.

“There were weeks I worked 60 hours, came home exhausted, and still had papers and tests waiting for me…”

Through it all, Bernsley found something unexpected through the Rotary Club of Boca Raton Scholarship: a community.

He connected with Rotarians like Brian Sheehan, Pia Giannone, and Tom Giunta—mentors who helped open his eyes to new opportunities and possibilities.

“It’s tough to build a community at a community college… Rotary became that place for me.”

You may even recognize Bernsley as this year’s OPAL Awards Scholar Speaker 💙

With a goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner or working in health tech, Bernsley is just getting started... and we can’t wait to see where his journey takes him.
