💙💛 What an incredible year of Service Above Self! ⚙️🎉

Because of the generosity of our members, sponsors, community partners, and everyone who supported our fundraising efforts throughout the Rotary year, the Rotary Club of Laredo Gateway was proud to award seven Paul Harris Grant Awards to deserving local nonprofit organizations! ❤️🙌

These grants are more than financial support—they represent hope, opportunity, and our shared commitment to making Laredo a stronger community. 🌟🏡

A very special THANK YOU goes to our outgoing President, Olga Cantu, whose outstanding leadership helped make this remarkable year possible. 👏💙 We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to every club member, officer, board member, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who gave their time, talents, and resources to make this achievement a reality.

Together, we didn’t just raise funds—we changed lives. ❤️💛 Thank you for proving that when our community comes together, amazing things happen.

🇺🇸🎆 Happy Fourth of July! 🎆🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the freedoms we cherish, the heroes who made them possible, and the communities that make our nation strong.

As you enjoy time with family and friends, please celebrate responsibly. Drive safely, never drink and drive, supervise children around fireworks, and look out for one another.

At Rotary Club of Laredo Gateway, we believe that Service Above Self extends beyond volunteerism—it means caring for our neighbors, protecting our families, and making choices that keep our community safe.

Wishing everyone a joyful, safe, and memorable Independence Day.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
Service Above Self.
