Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Of course you do, you have the opportunity to join us for a social night out at Golden Corral and we will even encourage you to do your own rendition of the Earth, Wind & Fire song if you are so inclined. 😊 We also have other great opportunities to smile in September so we hope you consider stopping by.

Our Club recently heard from three of our Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) scholarship recipients, who shared their experiences at the April 2026 RYLA “Unite for Good” program.

They spoke about the fun, friendships and leadership skills they gained and how RYLA helped strengthen their confidence and ability to lead. As members of the Springfield Community Interact Club, they are putting those leadership skills into action.

We’re proud to support area youth and invest youth opportunities that RYLA provides that inspire leadership, service and positive change.

Thank you Caleb, Alivia, and Anu for sharing your stories with us.

Pints for Polio-Community Fundraiser
This is Rotary's most ambitious fundraiser drive in history to make a difference in eradicating Polio. Our world is so close to wiping this terrible disease from the face of the earth. To do that, more financial support is needed.

The Rotary Club is partnering with the amazing people at Springfield Beer Company for a kick-off social on October 6. The best news is anyone in the community can also participate in this drive between October 6-24 by purchasing a pint of 95 Lauger while visiting there. The funds raised during October will be donated to PolioPlus.

For many years, our Club has provided school supplies for elementary students at Ridgely Elementary School.

This year, Club members once again printed out the list of needed school supplies for Ridgely Elementary School and purchased supplies from the list. The supplies were recently delivered to the school for distribution to students in need.

We’re proud to continue this tradition of supporting students and families as they start the school year ready to learn!

At Monday’s meeting, we were proud to recognize Bill Sturm for his continued commitment to the Rotary Foundation and his extraordinary generosity as a Paul Harris Fellow Plus 7 (three rubies).

Club International Rotary Foundation Chair Harry Mitchell moderated the recognition, with Rotary District 6460 Governor Musonda Kapatamoyo presenting the award.

Paul Harris Fellow recognition honors individuals who have contributed, or have had contributions made in their name, of $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or approved Rotary grants. Additional “Plus” levels mark each subsequent $1,000 in giving and are symbolized by sapphire and ruby pins. When a donor reaches $10,000, they become a major donor with a new recognition process.

Bill’s giving is about more than a pin or a recognition level, it’s about impact. Through the Rotary Foundation, his generosity helps support projects that fight disease, provide clean water, promote peace, strengthen communities, and make a difference both locally and around the world.

Thank you Bill for exemplifying Rotary’s spirit of Service Above Self and for setting such a meaningful example for all of us.
