Congratulations to our 2026–2027 Board of Directors! 🎉

Tonight, we proudly installed our new Board of Directors at the beautiful RI Yacht Club. Congratulations to our new Club President, Steven Tilley, along with all of our officers and board members as they begin a new year of leadership and service.

A special moment in the evening was having our first-ever female president, Carol Batty — who joined the Club in 1988 — install the officers. Our longest active member, Gordon Wilmot, who joined the Club in 1968, administered the oath to the Board. What a meaningful way to celebrate the legacy and future of our Club together.

Here’s to a great year ahead of service, fellowship, and impact! 👏

Every year, the Warwick Rotary Club honors the legacy of our charter member, Hayden Bentley, by presenting the Hayden Bentley Award to an individual outside of Rotary whose service has made a lasting impact on the Warwick community.

This year, we were proud to recognize Gary McCoombs, Principal of Hoxsie Elementary School, for his extraordinary leadership, compassion, and commitment to children.

Gary launched the Unified Basketball Tournament in partnership with Special Olympics Rhode Island, creating an event that now brings together students from schools across Warwick. This year alone, more than 3,500 people attended to cheer on these incredible athletes and celebrate inclusion, teamwork, and school spirit.

Speaker after speaker shared stories of Gary’s positivity, encouragement, and the welcoming culture he has built at Hoxsie since becoming principal in 2011. His impact reaches far beyond the school walls.

Congratulations, Gary McCoombs — a true inspiration who leads with heart and always puts kids first. Well deserved!

With hearts full of kindness, Warwick Rotarians volunteered at Amenity Aid this week, trading our regular lunch at Crowne Plaza Providence-Warwick (Airport) for a chance to serve. Together, we crafted care packages filled with essentials like toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, shampoo, soap, and deodorant for those who need them most. Although the exact count is still being tallied, we're proud to estimate that we've assembled over 600 bags of hope. We're grateful for this opportunity to make a real difference, spread joy, and embody the spirit of Service Above Self.
