Wadesboro Rotary Club is honored to recognize Holly Allison Kiker and Elaine Clodfelter as our 2026 Paul Harris Fellows. While both Holly and Elaine are devoted Rotarians, their contributions extend far beyond club membership. Year after year, they generously volunteer countless hours to our scholarship program. Their dedication, compassion, and attention to detail have helped make the scholarship program one of our club’s most impactful community initiatives. Much of its success is the result of their tireless work behind the scenes and their sincere commitment to supporting the next generation of leaders. Through their service, Holly and Elaine embody the values upon which Rotary was founded. Their efforts have touched the lives of students, families, and fellow Rotarians alike, creating opportunities and making a lasting difference in our community.

At our Rotary Installation Banquet, we celebrated both a remarkable year of leadership and an exciting new chapter for our club.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ashley Scarborough as she concludes her term as President. Ashley's dedication, leadership, and commitment to Rotary have helped our club continue its mission of service and community impact. Her passion, hard work, and servant leadership have left a lasting mark on our organization, and we are incredibly thankful for all she has done.

We are also excited to welcome Stephanie Scott as she begins her journey as our new Rotary President. We know she will bring the same enthusiasm, vision, and commitment to service as she leads our club into the coming year.

Thank you both for your willingness to serve, lead, and make a difference. Our Rotary Club is stronger because of leaders like you. Please join us in congratulating Ashley on a successful year and wishing Stephanie the very best as she takes the gavel and begins her term of leadership!
