The Rotary/One Community Service Committee continues to put Service Above Self into motion by focusing on one of the most powerful tools we can give young people: education.

Our committee is deeply committed to strengthening literacy, expanding access to learning resources, and supporting students who are working hard to build brighter futures. From providing books and dictionaries to creating hands‑on learning opportunities, we’re meeting youth where they are and helping them take confident steps forward.

Happy Labor Day from Rotary/One!

Today, we celebrate the people whose hard work strengthens our communities every day. From teachers and healthcare workers to small business owners, tradespeople, nonprofit professionals, and volunteers, your dedication helps create a stronger, more connected world.

Labor Day is also a reminder that meaningful work goes beyond what we do for a living. Through service, leadership, and collaboration, we each have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.

As Rotarians, we are grateful for those who roll up their sleeves to serve, lead, and build a brighter future for all.

Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and well-deserved Labor Day!

Recently, Rotary/One received a fascinating piece of our past: a Rotary roster from 1928.

Flipping through its pages feels like stepping back in time. The booklet offers a glimpse into the members, businesses, and leaders who helped shape both our club and the city of Chicago nearly a century ago. While so much has changed since 1928, it's inspiring to see that the values at the heart of Rotary, fellowship, service, integrity, and community, remain just as relevant today.

Thank you to James K. of Asheville, NC who preserved and shared this incredible piece of Rotary history with us. We look forward to honoring the past while continuing to build the future.

Do you have any Rotary memorabilia or stories from years gone by? We'd love to hear them!

Rotary is all about bringing together people who are passionate about service, leadership, and making a difference in their communities. We're excited to have Raza join our Rotary family and add his unique media experiences, perspectives, and talents to our club.

As we continue to create positive change through service, fellowship, and collaboration, new members bring fresh energy and ideas that help us grow our impact.

September is Basic Education and Literacy Month in Rotary: a time to celebrate the power of reading and learning to change lives.

One of Rotary/One's favorite traditions is putting books into the hands of young readers through our dictionary project. Each year, Rotarians visit local schools to distribute dictionaries to students, helping them build vocabulary, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

A dictionary is more than a book- it's a tool that opens doors to new ideas, strengthens communication skills, and encourages curiosity about the world around us.

What a fantastic time we had at Rotary Connects!

One of the best parts of Rotary is the opportunity to build relationships with people who are passionate about service, leadership, and making a difference in our communities. Rotary Connects was a wonderful reminder of the power of those connections.

From meeting new members to reconnecting with familiar faces, the evening was filled with meaningful conversations, shared ideas, and plenty of Rotary spirit. Events like these strengthen our network and remind us that while our projects make an impact, it’s the people behind them who make Rotary truly special.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success. We look forward to continuing to connect, collaborate, and serve together.

Service Above Self starts with connection. 💙💛
