Prayer
As with Americans everywhere we commemorate the hard-won independence which marks our nation, we are humbly grateful for patriots of the past who made freedom a reality for us. We are grateful for opportunities we have as Rotarians to help restore and preserve the traditional values which characterized our nation's early history. Along with gratitude for the profound blessing of freedom, we give thanks for the mundane gifts of life, including food and fellowship by which we are nourished and enriched. Amen.

Club Assembly
Mark your calendars for July 7, 2026, for our Annual Club Assembly @ St. Andrews Episcopal Church. It is a time for fellowship and a wonderful meal of beef tenderloin and sides prepared by the famous Holly Smokers cooking team from St. Andrews Episcopal Church. Our new Club President Suzy Tubb will also present her new board. The assembly will start at 6p.m. with fellowship and the meal and will end around 8p.m. There will be a $45 charge to members who attend. There is a sign-up sheet on the check in table as well as an invite email from Bill Osborne. Enter the Capital Towers parking garage from Pearl Street and go to the 1st floor and park. You can park in reserve spots unless they say 24hr. The entrance to St. Andrews is on the West side (there is a sign). Go through there and enter the church and follow the sound of Rotarians.
