Rotary Clubs around the world are united in service through seven areas of focus. Every October, we turn our attention to Community & Economic Development—because we know that when people have access to opportunity, resources, and the tools to build a better future, entire communities become stronger.

October is Rotary International's Community & Economic Development Month! 🌎💙

Strong communities are built when people come together to create opportunity, support local businesses, develop leaders, and invest in the places we call home.

From supporting entrepreneurs and workforce development to strengthening local economies and creating pathways to opportunity, Rotarians are helping communities thrive -one project, one partnership, and one person at a time.

This month, we celebrate the Rotarians throughout District 7600 and all of our community partners who are creating lasting impact and building a stronger future for all.

This week, we’re welcoming Rotary District 7600 Governor SuAnne Hardee Bryant as she shares her vision and priorities for the 2026–27 Rotary year.

Her message is simple but powerful: each of us has an opportunity to make a difference. She’s inviting every Rotarian to find the ways—big or small—that we can use our time, talents, and connections to in our clubs, our communities, and beyond.

We’re excited for the year ahead and all that we can accomplish together! 💙💛

Sharing a few more shots from last week’s Installation of Officers Luncheon. We are thankful for the leadership team who have stepped up to support President Pat!

One of our favorite traditions however is awarding Rotarian of the Year. It was a honor to recognize Bart Foster, a Rotarian who has quietly served as Sgt At Arms for SEVERAL decades.

Thirty years of service is a remarkable milestone in any role, but especially in one that is often carried out quietly, consistently, and without seeking recognition.

For three decades, our Sergeant-at-Arms has been the steady hand behind our meetings and events—arriving early, staying late, making sure and helping create the welcoming environment that allows our club to focus on service and fellowship. While the role may not always be in the spotlight, its impact is felt every single week.

Thirty years represents more than attendance. It represents reliability, commitment, and a genuine love for this club and its members. Bart has been a constant presence and familiar face who has helped preserve the traditions that make our club special.

On behalf of everyone whose Rotary experience has been made better because of Bart’s dedication, we thank you, sir. Thank you for your time, your dependability, your good humor, and your unwavering commitment over the past 30 years.

Please join us in congratulating and celebrating an extraordinary Rotarian whose service has left a lasting impact on our club. Here’s to 30 years of faithful service as Sergeant-at-Arms—and to the legacy of leadership, fellowship, and commitment you he has “fostered” in all of us.

A new Rotary year is underway!

Congratulations to our newly installed President, Patricia Wood, along with our 2026–2027 Board of Directors and officers. We are excited for the year ahead as we embrace Rotary International’s theme “Create Lasting Impact,” and continue serving our community with purpose, fellowship, and heart.

A special thank you to District Governor SuAnne Hardee Bryant and Immediate Past District Governor Pat Edwards for joining us as we celebrated this meaningful transition in leadership. Your support and encouragement sets the stage for an inspiring year ahead!

Here’s to another year of Service Above Self as we work together to create lasting impact—right here in Portsmouth and around the world. 💙💛

May the 4th be with you—and with truth, fairness, goodwill, and better friendships. 🪐

Today we’re channeling both the Force and the Rotary 4-Way Test:
Of the things we think, say, or do…
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

A galaxy (and a community) is better when we lead with both. 💫
