🎉 A New Rotary Year, A New Chapter for Raleigh Midtown Rotary! 🎉

We are thrilled to kick off this Rotary year with fresh energy, big goals, and an even bigger heart for service! One of our top priorities this year? Growing our membership. 🌱 We're on a mission to welcome new faces, new perspectives, and new friends who share our passion for Service Above Self — and we'd love for that next new face to be yours!

We officially launched the year in style at our Installation Banquet, surrounded by friends from across our city — and we were honored to be joined by a very special guest who traveled all the way from Ghana 🇬🇭 to celebrate with us! It was a beautiful reminder that Rotary truly connects us across the world.

Now, let's keep that momentum going! 🚀

📅 Join us next Monday for our meeting at:
📍 Highland United Methodist Church, Raleigh
🕕 Doors open at 6:15 pm | Program 6:30–7:30 pm

Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and come see what Rotary is all about. Whether you're looking to serve, connect, or just have some fun with a great group of people — there's a seat for you at our table.

See you Monday! 💚

As we close out another impactful month, we pause to reflect on the power of service, connection, and community. 💙

This month, the Raleigh Midtown Rotary Club continued its mission of “Service Above Self” bringing together leaders, changemakers, and neighbors committed to making a difference right here in our community and beyond.

From meaningful conversations at our weekly meetings to hands-on service and growing partnerships, every moment has been a step forward.

We’re also proud to share that members of our club leadership recently attended Carolina PETS (President-Elect Training Seminar) in preparation for the upcoming Rotary year. It was an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with Rotary leaders from across the region, and we’re bringing that energy, knowledge, and vision back to our club as we prepare for an even stronger future.

👏🏾 A huge thank you to our members, partners, and supporters who continue to show up, give back, and lead with purpose.

The work continues, and we’re just getting started. Exciting things are ahead in the coming months!

Here's a Article written about a Presentation by some Duke Students and Teachers Assistants delivered to Raleigh Midtown Rotary Club. It highlights Clean Shelter A Non-profit located in Germany. We hope you enjoy the Article.

Clean Shelter Article: A Sparkling Presentation

Imagine a ray of hope unexpectedly entering your life, purely by coincidence. While some might call this grandstanding, it’s often said, “If the shoe fits, wear it.” A month and a half ago, a group of students walked into a small Rotary Club meeting and delivered an unprecedented presentation, one that resonated deeply with everyone present.
This presentation was a tapestry of emotions, woven with themes of collaboration, compassion, and the drive to assist those in need. The students rolled up their sleeves, demonstrating innovation in the face of complex challenges while expressing a sincere desire to help others. If there were ever a perfect embodiment of the phrase “Service Above Self,” this was it. To truly appreciate the impact of this presentation, you would need to invite these students to your club or nonprofit, whether in person or through a digital format. They’re eager to share how Clean Shelter is changing the world through logistics, advocacy, communication, and dedicated grassroots efforts.
Clean Shelter, a remarkable nonprofit founded in Germany by two visionary women, embodies a strong desire to create a better world. They have already established connections with Rotary in Germany and are eager to forge similar partnerships in the USA. However, this article isn’t merely about telling their story; it’s about piquing your interest and guiding you to their narrative in an organic way.
The best way to experience their journey is through the voices of the students and the founders, Seba and Tom. By attending a local Rotary Club or nonprofit gathering, you’ll feel their energy, share in their optimism for the future, and recognize the significance of meaningful work, all while basking in a few rays of hope. This is your chance to witness a truly sparkling presentation.
For more information about Clean Shelter, visit their website:

If you would like a direct connection to the students from Duke University who deliver this inspiring presentation, please reach out to the Raleigh Midtown Rotary Club. They would be delighted to connect you.
