💜World Polio Day | Rotary in Action! 💜

This week, our club had the privilege of hearing from Past District Governor Mike Tatem about Rotary’s ongoing mission to eradicate polio worldwide. As we recognize World Polio Day, we’re reminded of the incredible impact we can make when we come together for a cause that matters.

We’re proud to have completed our Purple Pinkie Project, raising over $1,700 to support polio eradication! A huge thank-you to everyone who contributed and helped make this project a success. 💜

A special thank-you to Baya Pharmacy for generously matching $1,000 of our fundraising efforts! Your support helps us get one step closer to a polio-free world. 🌎

Together, we’re making a difference — one purple pinkie at a time! 💜

🦌❤️ Service Above Self in Action!

At today’s Rotary Club of Lake City meeting, we had the pleasure of welcoming Hunters for the Hungry to share their incredible mission of helping fight hunger in our communities.

Their program turns a passion for hunting into an opportunity to give back by providing nutritious venison to individuals and families in need. What a wonderful example of how our community can come together to make a meaningful difference!

We are grateful to our guest speakers for sharing their time, their passion, and the impact their organization is making.

At Rotary, we believe that even the simplest acts of service can create lasting change. 💙💛

🌟 Creating Lasting Impact Through Rotary 🌟

This week, the Rotary Club of Lake City is honored to welcome our District Governor Clayton Hicks, as our guest speaker!

This year’s message, “Creating Lasting Impact,” is a wonderful reminder of what Rotary is all about — serving others, strengthening our communities, and creating positive change that continues long after the work is done.

We look forward to hearing from our District Governor about the year ahead and how, together, Rotarians across our district can continue turning service into lasting impact. 💙💛

🦅 Flying Eagle Award – “For Flying High to Serve Others”

One of the most meaningful traditions of the Rotary Club of Lake City is our Flying Eagle Award.

The award was created from an eagle ornament that was once broken and later repaired following an incredible connection to the rescue and rehabilitation of an injured bald eagle right here in our community. Today, it serves as a reminder of what Rotary is all about — service, community, and stepping up when others need us.

Each year, the President’s Choice Flying Eagle Award recognizes a Rotarian or community member who has gone above and beyond in service to others.

We are proud to recognize John Wheeler as our 2026 Flying Eagle Award recipient! 🦅💙💛

John’s name now joins Meagan Logan (2024) and Brent Kuykendall (2025) as part of this special Rotary tradition.

Congratulations, John, and thank you for continuing to fly high to serve others!

💙💛 A Great Day at Rotary!

Last week, the Rotary Club of Lake City had the pleasure of welcoming State Senator Jennifer Bradley as our guest speaker!

We always appreciate the opportunity to hear from leaders who serve our area and to learn more about what’s happening in our community and across our state. Senator Bradley shared updates with our members and took time to discuss issues that matter right here at home.

Thank you, Senator Bradley, for spending part of your day with us and for a great conversation!

We’re grateful for another wonderful Rotary meeting filled with fellowship, community, and connection. 💙💛

Thank you for the time, passion, and commitment you poured into making this past year a success. Your leadership has left a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful.

At the same time, we are excited to welcome Chris Wynn as our new Rotary Club President! We look forward to an incredible year under Chris’s leadership as we continue living out Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self. We know his vision, enthusiasm, and commitment to our community will guide us through another meaningful year of service and fellowship.

Please join us in thanking Matthew for a job well done and congratulating Chris as he begins this exciting new chapter. Here’s to another great year of making a difference together!
