🎉 **Congratulations to our July 2026 Rotarian of the Month, President Rick Garcia!** 🎉

Rick has been leading our club with dedication, a steady hand, and, as Rex puts it, always having a “better idea.” 😄

We’re grateful for everything Rick does for Harrisburg Rotary and for the time and energy he puts into keeping our club moving forward.

A special thank you to **Rex Moran** for putting together such a fun and creative tribute to Rick. 👏

📜 **Check out the image for the full poem** and see why Rick was our clear choice for Rotarian of the Month!

Congratulations, Rick! Well deserved! 🎉

P.S. As Rex reminded us… our Prez is doing more than expected! Now we just need to find a VP. Experience is a plus, and we promise not to throw you under the bus! 😂

Last Tuesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Megan Stidman, Founder and CEO of Coach Veritas, for an engaging presentation on Executive Coaching.

Megan shared how coaching helps leaders strengthen communication, build high-performing teams, navigate change, and reach their full potential. Her insights highlighted the value of investing in leadership development—not only for individuals, but for organizations and the communities they serve.

Thank you, Megan, for an informative and inspiring program. We appreciate you sharing your expertise with our club!

Last Tuesday, we welcomed representatives from Bikers Against Ch1ld Abus3 (BACA) for a powerful and inspiring presentation about their mission to support children who have experienced abuse.

BACA works alongside professional agencies to provide strength, safety, and hope to children, ensuring they never feel alone. Their dedicated volunteers come from all walks of life, united by a shared commitment to protecting and empowering children.

And yes... they also brought some very cool motorcycles! 🏍️ A great reminder that heroes come in many forms.

Thank you to our speakers for sharing the incredible work BACA is doing in Houston and beyond. It was an eye-opening program and a meaningful afternoon of fellowship and learning.
