At our July 9 meeting, club President Joe Tarver discussed results from the Spring 2026 membership survey. Participation in the survey was low – with less than 20% of our club participating. Please read over the results of the survey. If you have other suggestions to improve our club, our meetings, or our community engagement, please connect with Joe or one of the directors.
Next time there is a club-wide survey, please participate.

Planning is underway for our third annual online auction.
More details to come, but please consider whether you or your friends and family members have any high-end items that could be added to this year's auction. For example, a large percentage of our proceeds in both 2024 and 2025 came from vacation rentals – do you have access to a phenomenal vacation spot? If so, please connect with Marta Jones-Turner.
The auction will end on Thursday, Dec. 3 at our annual holiday party. Proceeds from the auction will help fund our club's community service, youth projects and other programs throughout the year.
Please take a moment to review your contact information in the Rotary directory to ensure it is accurate and current.
