🎉 One of the most meaningful traditions in our club year is almost here! 🎉

On Monday, June 29, we will gather for our annual Passing the Gavel program. This special meeting is our time to celebrate the conclusion of another incredible Rotary year and welcome the new leadership who will guide us into the future.

🌟 Celebrating 2025-2026
We extend our deepest gratitude to President Janet Fugate and Sue Boetcher for their outstanding leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment. Your efforts have truly united us in service and fellowship, beautifully advancing Rotary’s message to "Unite for Good." Thank you both for an incredible year! 🙌

🚀 Looking Ahead to 2026-2027
As one chapter closes, another exciting one begins! We are thrilled to welcome President Shayna Martini and Eric Hesser as they step into their new leadership roles.

Rotary International’s theme for the coming year is "Create Lasting Impact." We can't wait to see the vision, energy, and opportunities Shayna and Eric will bring as we continue our mission to serve both our local community and the world. 🌍✨

🎖️ A Special Invitation
We extend a warm, special invitation to all past, present, and future club presidents to attend this celebration of leadership and service. Your contributions have shaped our club's history and continue to inspire our future.

Please join us as we honor those who have led, thank those who are concluding their service, and enthusiastically welcome our incoming leaders.

We hope to see everyone there for this important Rotary tradition! ⚙️💙

What happens when 32 members, spouses and aquaintances of the Janesville Noon Rotary Club gather on a Wednesday afternoon/evening at two fun, local venues? Laughter - lots of laughter, deepening friendships, plans for the future, and realization that work and other responsibilities can (and should) sometimes be paused. This is our Supper Club Fellowship.

A special Rotary welcome to Bernadette, Derek and Cheryl.

📬 Stamp Out Hunger: We Need Your Help This Saturday!
This Saturday is the Annual Mail Carrier Food Drive, and it is one of our most important days of the year. The donations The Salvation Army Rock County receives in this single day help sustain their pantry and keep their food costs within budget for months to come.

But they can’t do it alone! The mail trucks fill up fast, making it difficult for carriers to finish their routes. The Salvation Army Rock County is partnering with ECHO, Inc. to find volunteers to help the day run smoothly.

How you can help:

Truck Offloaders: We need strong sets of hands to meet mail carriers, offload donations, and bring them back to the post office. We have the vans and drivers—we just need the muscle!

Food Sorters: Once the food is split between The Salvation Army and ECHO, we need a crew at our location to sort items by type and expiration date.

Want to lend a hand? Whether you have a few hours or the whole afternoon, your time makes a massive difference for the 750 families we serve.

📍 Interested in volunteering? Message us directly or comment below to get signed up!

Let’s fill those shelves, Janesville! 💪🍎

🥫 Big News for The Salvation Army Rock County Food Pantry! ❄️
We are happy to report that we were able to gift The Salvation Army Rock County a generous $2,000 grant!

Their freezers have been showing their age lately, and one finally gave up on them. This grant covers half the cost of a brand-new freezer, ensuring they can continue storing the food needed to serve the 750 families who walk through our doors every month.
