From canoe races to adventure paddling, Bill truly believes in the power of the paddle; how it can unite people, bring awareness to a cause, and even build relationships.

With a paddle, anything is possible, especially if itโ€™s for a good cause.

Ty spent his time at Leader Creek Fisheries, one of the four major processing plants located on the Alaska Peninsula Highway in Naknek, where they specialize in sockeye salmon fillets.
Iแ‘ŽTแ—ดแ–‡แ—ดแ”•TIแ‘Žแ˜œ แ–ดแ—ฉแ‘•T: The processors (workers in the plant) spend 7 weeks at one plant, working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week making $20,000, before moving onto the next plant.

To put it plainly, we (and the world) are lucky to have Ty fighting for them!

MJ brings a wealth of knowledge to our club. She has been a police detective, a software engineer, and a motivational speaker (these are just a a few of her past experiences)! Even before wanting to become a Rotarian, MJ traveled to Honduras with our International team, so she has proven she has a heart of a Rotarian.

Welcome to our club Rotarian MJ!

Tonight we had the year-end celebration for the members of the Lake Wales High School Interact club at the First Baptist Church in Lake Wales. Especially honored were the Seniors in the Club. Club Sponsor, Olga Stafford presented Interact Sashes to each of the Seniors and special awards to the Club Officers. Breakfast Rotary members attending included Tommy Griffin, Angela Oaks, Beverly Lynne, Pam Lunsford and Robbie Shields.

Lila, who was born in China, lived in France until the age of 15, and then moved to the United States in 2021, says that with the help of her team (mom, teachers, and doctors), so has been working on โ€œBrave Talkโ€ strategies, so things like speaking, can become more comfortable to her.

Lila attends Polk State College and is studying Business Administration. She enjoys traveling, animals, and painting. She understands that her brain works differently, but overcoming these challenges has helped her begin to build her confidence and foster her independence.

What a great weekend at the Lake Wales Breakfast Rotary boyโ€™s camp at Circle F Dude Ranch. Many of the Lake Ashton residents supported by purchasing the calendar of prizes for the month of January 2026. Thank-you!
I have been doing the Camp since 2004. Local teachers select 4th and 5th grade boys who are deserving and normally would not get an experience such as this.
Yes, we do a girlโ€™s camp also, which was done in February, but I just help with it.

Lake Wales Breakfast Rotary camp is now complete. After breakfast we had a Sunday morning service lead by Rob Quam, the director of the Lake Wales Care Center.
We then had some free time playing various sports or just hanging out together, before the Sheriffโ€™s department arrived with their SWAT team and K-Nine unit. The boyโ€™s were fascinated by the program.
The boys were sad when the camp ended at noon. It really was a great weekend, and so glad our Breakfast Rotary club sponsors and runs the camp.
