The Rotary Club of Grafton is a part of District 7545 of Rotary International. We are a non-profit public service group dedicated to improving our community and the lives of its citizens. Every year our club raises thousands of dollars for improvement projects in the community, aids and rewards the achievement of our young students, and contributes funds to help combat international crises, such a

s world hunger and polio. Our members come from a variety of backgrounds and profession, but we are all devoted to the principle of "service above self." The object of Rotary is to encourage foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster:

1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
3.The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional person united in the ideal of service. We have two branches of the club: a day group and an evening group. Most members of the day group are either retired or employed in positions that allow them to attend afternoon meetings, while our evening group is composed of younger professionals. Meeting times & locations:

- Day group: Weekly at 12pm on Tuesday at Jerrys Restaurant (zoom option typically available)

- Evening Group: The 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at 6pm at the Taylor County Public Library (zoom option typically available)

This event is open to everyone, and we’d love to see you there as we celebrate service, compassion, and the power of community.

Join us Thursday, May 21 at 6:00 PM for a screening of Honor Flight – The Grafton-Taylor County Health Department, located at 718 West Main Street, Grafton.

Popcorn popcorn and beverages will be provided. Bring your favorite veterans 🇺🇸, along with friends and family, for an evening of gratitude, reflection, and community.

Below ⬇️ is a brief write‑up about the film 🎥

“Honor Flight - The Movie” ✈️
A volunteer organization races against time to bring aging WWII veterans—many in their late 80s and 90s—on a once‑in‑a‑lifetime trip to Washington, D.C. The journey becomes deeply emotional as veterans share long‑buried memories, receive heartfelt appreciation from strangers, and experience a powerful tribute to their service. For many, it is described as one of the best days of their lives. ♥️ 🤍 💙
