Next Week’s Rotary Speaker: Robbie Bell

Join us next week as we welcome Robbie Bell, owner of Honey Bell Bee Company and a respected leader in Florida agriculture.

A second-generation commercial beekeeper, Robbie has spent decades working in beekeeping, honey production, and crop pollination. He was also recently appointed to the Florida USDA Farm Service Agency State Committee, where he helps support and advocate for Florida's agricultural community.

From honeybees and pollination to the challenges and opportunities facing agriculture today, Robbie is sure to provide an informative and engaging program you won't want to miss.

A Wonderful Evening Celebrating Another Great Rotary Year!

Last week, our Rotary family gathered for our Annual Rotary Dinner to celebrate the accomplishments, friendships, and service that made this past year so meaningful.

It was an evening filled with fellowship, laughter, reflection, and gratitude as we recognized the impact our members have made throughout the year—both within our club and throughout our community.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success. Events like these remind us that Rotary is about more than service projects and meetings; it's about the relationships we build and the difference we make together.

As we look ahead to a new Rotary year, we are excited to continue serving our community, supporting one another, and living out the Rotary motto of Service Above Self.

Here's to another year of leadership, friendship, and service!

📸 Feel free to share your favorite photos from the evening in the comments.
