The lights may be shining a little less bright for a short time as we at Rotary Lights grieve the passing of our Founder and President, Pat Stephens on February 3, 2026. However, when we remember all that he has done to make our community and region a better place to live, his light, his legacy, will burn brightly as an example for us to follow into the future. Pat took a suggestion to have a small light display for families to enjoy and turned it into one of the finest displays to visit in the Midwest. He did this with the
mission to feed the hungry. He would be the first to say, if not for the help of all of the volunteers from set-up to takedown the mission would not have been such a great success.

Our love, prayers and support go out to Joanne and the entire Stephens family at this time.

What Pat started, Rotary Lights, will continue to shine bright at Riverside Park and beyond. Following his example, ask yourself how you can make your light shine brighter to help someone else.
