WE ARE ROTARY....

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster. The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite

it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do

Is it the TRUTH? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Avenues of Service
We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity. Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan. Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more. Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs such as Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange.

The Rotary Club of Brunswick recently welcomed Bryan Sipe, Chief of the Glynn County Police Department, as its guest speaker.
Sipe officially assumed the role of Chief on March 20, 2026, after serving as Interim Chief since January 1st. A lifelong resident of Glynn County, he brings more than 32 years of law enforcement experience to the position.

Chief Sipe spoke positively about the dedicated men and women of the Glynn County Police Department and highlighted the department's commitment to public safety and professionalism. He discussed the evolving landscape of law enforcement and the increasing challenges officers face as call volumes continue to rise and community needs become more complex.
He also emphasized the importance of strong community partnerships, continued training, and embracing new technologies to help officers effectively serve the public.
Rotary members appreciated Chief Sipe's candid discussion and his vision for maintaining a safe and thriving Glynn County. His remarks underscored the critical role law enforcement plays in supporting the quality of life enjoyed by residents throughout the community.
We are donating a favorite Pete The Cat book to Brunswick-Glynn County Library with our thanks. Photo: Club Pres. Hagen and Chief Sipe.

Another outstanding day at the Rotary Club of Brunswick!

This week we had the privilege of hearing from Glynn County School Superintendent — and fellow Rotarian — Mike Blackerby, who shared the remarkable progress happening across our school system.

Mike reported that Glynn County’s public high schools far outperformed the state average again this year, ranking among just 60 districts statewide to reach 95%+ graduation rates.

Brunswick High School: 99.8%
Glynn Academy: 98.4%
District-wide: 99% graduation rate — more than 11 points above Georgia’s state average of 87.2%

Mike credited this achievement to the consistent work of students, teachers, staff, and families at every level. As he noted, our elementary and middle schools help build the foundation that makes this level of success possible. We’re proud of the leadership and dedication driving these results.

We also celebrated our November Students of the Month:

⭐ Anna Weese, Brunswick High School
⭐ Giovanni Smiley, Glynn Academy
⭐ Amelia McGlaughlin, Frederica Academy

Each student delivered a thoughtful and inspiring presentation, and we look forward to watching their continued success beyond high school.
