We couldn’t be prouder of our Rotary family! ⚙️💙✨

This past weekend at the Fashion Icons of the Lou scholarship fundraiser, hosted right here in Swansea by Victorious Life International, our club was represented in a major way! 🌟👏 Please join us in celebrating FOUR of our dedicated Rotary Club of Swansea members who were recognized as honorees for leading with purpose, style, and community heart:
🌟 Natalie Jablonski
🌟 Kayanna Clark-Dowen
🌟 Peggy Wade
🏆 And a huge, resounding standing ovation for Steve Pulley, who took home the honor of Man of the Year! 👔🎉🙌

True to our motto of “Service Above Self,” these leaders show up every single day to make our community stronger. It was an honor to support an event dedicated to "Style with a Purpose"—raising vital scholarship funds to empower students at World Changers Prep Academy (WCPA). 🎓📚

Thank you to Victorious Life International and their CEO, Swansea Rotarian Warletta Brookins, for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating education, youth empowerment, and local leadership. Drop your congratulations and warm wishes for our honorees in the comments below! 👇🎉📸

Generous support of The Rotary Foundation contributes to lasting change in communities around the world. Rotary members respond to local and global challenges, often using grants from The Rotary Foundation to fund their crucial work.

What impact can one donation have?
For as little as 60 cents, a child can be protected from polio.
$50 can provide clean water to help fight waterborne illness.
$500 can launch an antibullying campaign and create a safe environment for children.

Today is World Polio Day, and we’re closer than ever to making history.

When Rotary launched PolioPlus in 1985, polio paralyzed more than 350,000 children across 125 countries every single year. Today, thanks to the relentless dedication of Rotarians, health workers, and global partners, wild polio cases have dropped by over 99.9%.

Two out of three wild poliovirus strains have been completely eradicated, and entire continents are certified polio-free.
But "almost" is not enough. As long as polio exists anywhere, children everywhere remain at risk. A resurgence can happen fast if we stop now.

Every dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication is matched 2-to-1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, turning your support into triple the impact for vaccines, transport, and frontline health workers.

How you can take action today:
* Share this post to raise awareness across your network.
* Support the cause directly at endpolio.org.
* Join us at our next Rotary club meeting to see how we’re taking action locally and globally.

Together, we will fulfill our promise to the world's children: a world free of polio. 💜

A big thank you to April Becherer for delivering a fantastic classification talk at our recent Rotary Club of Swansea meeting! 👏💼

As the Superintendent of High Mount School, April gave us a wonderful look into her career path, shared stories about her family, and spoke beautifully about the people and experiences that have inspired her throughout her life. 📚🍎

Classification talks are such a great way to learn more about the amazing individuals in our club. Thank you, April, for sharing your personal journey with us and for your incredible dedication to education and our local youth! 🙌✨
