Yesterday was the first Wednesday in May, and we were honored to have Jaala Taylor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as our Guest Speaker at our noon meeting!

Jaala has a heart for helping children succeed, and as she completes her fifth year as the District Supervisor of the Family Resource and Youth Service Center for Pulaski County Schools, she is thankful to be in a position that allows her to be an advocate for the mental, social, and emotional health of the students.

Thank you Jaala for such an impactful presentation and thank you for the work you do!

The Somerset Rotary Club recently wrapped up our Shoe Project, and what an incredible success it was! Thanks to the support of a grant from Rotary International District 6740, we were able to provide more than 250 brand-new pairs of shoes to children throughout Somerset and Pulaski County.

A huge thank you to everyone who supports our Election Day Pancake Fry each year... your support helps make meaningful community projects like this possible!

Each year, the Somerset Noon Rotary Club is honored to offer three $1,000 scholarships to one Society of Character Inductee from Pulaski County High School, Southwestern High School, and Somerset High School.

Applicants were asked to submit a short essay on the Rotary International motto "Service Above Self". Three finalists were then selected from each school to attend an in-person interview.

We are excited to award this year's Society of Character Rotary Scholarships to Emma Midden (SHS), Madeline Butcher (PCHS), and Drew Kelly (SWHS)!

Congratulations Emma, Madeline, and Drew!

We wish you the best as you begin your college journey!

Thank you to everyone who submitted an essay for consideration. And a HUGE thank you to Roxanna Bishop of Pulaski County Schools and Amy Walters of Somerset High School for your help in helping us offer these scholarships!!

I encourage all of our club members to wear GREEN 💚💚 and here’s why:

“I would like to invite you, your friends, and your families to join us in showing support for Cerebral Palsy Awareness by wearing green on Wednesday, March 25, 2026.

This effort is especially meaningful as we stand in support of our very own newsletter editor, Jacob Gardner. By simply wearing green, you help raise awareness and show encouragement for Jacob and others living with cerebral palsy.

We encourage you to:

💚Wear green on March 25
💚Share photos on social media and tag the Rotary District 6740 page
💚Invite friends, family, and colleagues to participate

Let’s come together as a district to make a visible impact and show our support in a simple but powerful way.

Thank you for helping us spread awareness and positivity throughout our communities.

With appreciation,

DG Greg Palmer”
