This week, we recognized Lamar, aka Pete, for achieving his Paul Harris +2 status.

To be recognized with a Paul Harris Fellow, a person must give $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation. The Rotary Foundation is the charitable arm of Rotary. The Foundation helps provide funding for life changing projects around the world in areas such as promoting peace, providing clean water, supporting education, protecting the environment, growing economies, fighting disease, and saving women and children.

Congratulations, Pete! Thank you for making a difference not just here in our community, but globally!

What a special night celebrating the impact of the 2025–2026 Rotary Grant Giving program.

Because of the generosity of our dedicated Rotarians, sponsors, and event attendees, we were able to support incredible organizations that are doing meaningful work throughout our community. These grants will help provide healthcare for the uninsured, create scholarship opportunities, expand educational resources for students of all ages, support foster families, protect the arts, restore the St. Johns River, provide mobility assistance dogs, and honor our local history.

Each organization represents hope, service, and a commitment to building a stronger future for those around us. It was an inspiring evening filled with wonderful people, powerful missions, and the reminder that when a community comes together, great things happen.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration possible. The future is brighter because of the work being done today.

Happy Birthday, Mario!
