Rotary Club of Franklin Daybreak was founded by the Rotary Club of Franklin in 1997.

At Rotary, we understand that cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture is essential to realizing our vision of a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change. We value diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all backgrounds, across age, ethnicity, race, color, disability, learning style, religion, faith, socioeconomic status, culture, marital status, languages spoken, s*x, s*xual orientation, and gender identity as well as differences in ideas, thoughts, values, and beliefs. Recognizing that individuals from certain groups have historically experienced barriers to membership, participation, and leadership, we commit to advancing equity in all aspects of Rotary, including in our community partnerships, so that each person has the necessary access to resources, opportunities, networks, and support to thrive. We believe that all people hold visible and invisible qualities that inherently make them unique, and we strive to create an inclusive culture where each person knows they are valued and belong. In line with our value of integrity, we are committed to being honest and transparent about where we are in our DEI journey as an organization, and to continuing to learn and do better.

🌎❤️ Service Above Self in Action! ❤️🌎

This morning, members of Franklin Daybreak Rotary and Impact Interact joined together with other Maconians to help pack over 20,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger!

It was a morning filled with teamwork, fellowship, and a shared commitment to making a difference. Every meal packed represents an opportunity to fight hunger and bring hope to someone in need.

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out, rolled up their sleeves, and gave their time to make this possible. Together, we’re making an impact one meal at a time!

That’s what Service Above Self is all about! 💛

💙 Investing in the Next Generation of Service! 💛

Franklin Daybreak Rotary was proud to present a check to Impact Interact today to help support the club’s yearly expenses!

Impact Interact is a homeschool-based volunteer service group, similar to a traditional high school Interact Club, that brings local students together to make a difference throughout Macon County.

Through service projects, community involvement, and helping meet local needs, these young volunteers are putting the Rotary spirit of Service Above Self into action!

We are grateful for the opportunity to support these outstanding students and encourage their commitment to serving others. The future of our community is in good hands!

💙💛 Making a Difference, One Act of Service at a Time! 💛💙

At Franklin Daybreak Rotary, we believe that service above self means investing in our community and making a lasting impact—both locally and around the world! 🌎

We’re proud to share two recent donations that support causes close to our hearts:

🍎 $1,500 for Rise Against Hunger!
This donation will support our upcoming food-packing event on November 7 at 9:00 AM at First United Methodist Church. We’ll come together to package meals for people facing hunger around the world, and we need volunteers! If you’d like to make a difference, join us and be part of something meaningful. Every helping hand counts! ❤️

📚 $1,000 for the Student Leadership Program at Iotla Elementary School!
We’re honored to invest in the next generation of leaders right here in Macon County. By supporting opportunities that build character, confidence, and leadership skills, we’re helping equip our young people to make a difference in their schools and communities.

These contributions reflect what Rotary is all about: people coming together to serve, support, and strengthen the communities we call home. We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back and for everyone who makes our service possible!

🙌 Want to get involved? Join us on November 7 to help pack meals for Rise Against Hunger!

Our upcoming Discover Rotary program promises to be an enlightening experience as we shine a light on Franklin Daybreak Rotary and our dedication to serving our community!

Together, we will reflect on the difference our club makes, the lives we touch, and the lasting impact of our service. Sometimes, we get so busy doing the work that we forget to stop and recognize just how brightly our club shines in our community.

This program will be a wonderful reminder that every Rotarian plays a part in making our community a brighter place.

You won't want to miss this special program! Come ready to be inspired, encouraged, and reminded of why we are proud to be Rotarians.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

🍰❤️ What a SWEET night for a very important cause! ❤️🍰

Tonight, the Franklin Daybreak Rotary Club came together for our 5th Annual Dessert Auction, and what a night it was!

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing members and community, we raised approximately $3,000 to support Rotary’s fight to END POLIO NOW! 🌎💙

And here’s where it gets even sweeter… thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, our contribution will be matched 2-to-1, turning our $3,000 into an incredible $9,000 of impact toward polio eradication! 🙌

For most of us, polio is something we’ve only read about in history books. But around the world, children are still at risk. Rotary has been working for decades toward a world where no child ever has to suffer from this devastating disease again.

Tonight, we didn’t just auction desserts. We auctioned hope. ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who baked, donated, bid, bought, laughed, ate way too much dessert, and helped make this night such a success. 🧁🍪🍰

And thank you to the Franklin community for continuing to support our club and the work we do locally and around the world.

$3,000 raised.
$6,000 Gates Foundation match.
$9,000 total impact.
ONE goal: END POLIO NOW. 🌎💙

This is what Service Above Self looks like. ❤️

💙💛 5th Tuesday Social + Service Above Self! 💛💙

What a special evening for Franklin Daybreak Rotary! Our 5th Tuesday Social was a wonderful reminder that fellowship and service go hand in hand. 🥰

While we enjoyed a delicious meal and great fellowship together, our Rotary members were also busy putting Service Above Self into action — packing 80 bags filled with supplies for 80 teachers at Iotla Elementary School! 📚✏️🍎

That’s 80 teachers who will know their community is thinking about them and appreciates all they do for our students. ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to Luke and Kristy Smith for opening their home and hosting such a wonderful evening! Your hospitality made the night extra special.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to laugh together, serve together, and make a difference together.

Same great people. A little more time to connect. A whole lot of Service Above Self. 💙💛
