🐾 Rotary of Lumberton Program Recap 🐾

This past Tuesday, our club had the pleasure of hearing an update from the Robeson County Humane Society. We learned more about the incredible work being done in our community, including recent adoption successes and ongoing spay and neuter initiatives that are making a meaningful impact for animals in need.

We also received information about the upcoming John P. Williamson Memorial Golf Tournament, a special event that supports the Humane Society’s mission and programs.

Thank you to our speaker for sharing these important updates and for the continued dedication to improving the lives of animals in Robeson County! 🐶🐱

Join us as Rotarian Bill Tubbs serves as program chair and welcomes Jef Lambdin, the dedicated Rumba on the Lumber Coordinator, as our featured speaker.

A member of the Robeson Road Runners since 2006, Jef has helped keep our community moving for years. Since 2014, he has been the driving force behind Rumba on the Lumber — skillfully juggling the countless details that make this beloved festival such a success (sometimes literally — he is a mime!).

Jef’s energy, creativity, and passion help make Rumba unforgettable, and our community is better because of his commitment. We look forward to hearing the story behind one of Lumberton’s signature events — you won’t want to miss it!
