Sharon Stauffer invited Trussville City Clerk Dan Weinrib to address the Rotary Club at its Wednesday meeting.

Dan Weinrib is an experienced Trussville municipal clerk recognized for his expertise, leadership in professional associations, and dedication to public service.

Dan gave an engaging overview of the municipal clerk’s origins and the history of Trussville’s city clerks from 1947 to today.

Dan Weinrib has served as Trussville City Clerk and the city’s chief records management officer since November 2020. His duties include preparing agendas, taking minutes, managing ordinances and resolutions, overseeing planning and zoning, administering municipal elections, and managing other assigned municipal functions.

He also serves as the contact for the City’s Planning & Zoning Board, which is responsible for zoning, subdivision approvals, and the city’s comprehensive plan.

Municipal clerks have become essential to local government, connecting residents directly with their government. They also serve as community historians, preserving the municipality’s history and the stories of its people.

The International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC) awarded Dan Weinrib, MMC, of the City of Trussville, its prestigious Master Municipal Clerk designation. The honor recognizes municipal clerks who meet rigorous educational standards and make significant contributions to their local government, community, and state.

Rotary clubs and city governments often collaborate to fund, design, build projects and then transfer responsibility to the city for long-term maintenance.

Many public officials are also active in local Rotary clubs, creating a direct, informal link between the private sector and city government.

American Cancer Society Joe Lee Griffin Hope Lodge — Birmingham, Alabama

When the American Cancer Society Joe Lee Griffin Hope Lodge sought volunteers to support guests receiving cancer treatment, Trussville Noon Rotary members Russell Moore, Joshua Holland, Paulette McLean, Dr. Hugh Brindley, and Mike Sartin stepped up.

Assistant manager Tonya Zapata identified a need for residents -- Trussville Noon Rotary responded by building a pergola, hanging string lights, and swing.

Zapata helps make the lodge a home away from home for patients and caregivers. In a public LinkedIn post, she emphasized volunteers’ vital role in the lodge’s mission and guest support.

The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides free lodging and a supportive community for patients receiving active cancer treatment and their caregivers. The Joe Lee Griffin Hope Lodge serves those receiving treatment more than 40 miles from home.

Hope Lodge offers guests a safe, welcoming place to eat, relax, and join activities. Volunteers assist with daily operations, meals, and guest support.

When Rotarians “step up,” they accept greater responsibility to meet a need or advance Rotary’s mission.

September Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce Luncheon.

09/19/2026

ROTARY PROGRAMS AND FELLOWSHIP:

JR Malchus, invited by George Fritsma, guest speaker, Wednesday, September 16.

JR works with the Trussville Inspections Department, which oversees commercial and residential inspections throughout the city.

He outlined the inspection process for us: building plans must be submitted, reviewed, and approved before a permit is issued. New Trussville builders should meet with the Department Head of Inspections before construction begins to review city requirements.

Before an Occupancy Certificate is issued and utilities are activated, builders must give the Permitting Clerk a complete subcontractor list with each subcontractor’s address, phone number, and license number for verification.
https://trussville.org/

During our club’s meeting about the Angel Tree Project, Mr. Malchus kindly volunteered to help ensure everyone on the angel tree received a gift.

Partnerships and collaboration help us make a meaningful difference by working alongside municipal leaders and community members. As Rotarians, we are committed to service above self and to meeting the needs of our community.

Engaging young leaders is also important through programs such as Interact Clubs, Rotary Youth Exchange, and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA).
