By Dan CoonsAssistant Governor – Rotary District 5495 Member of Queen Creek Rotary Club July 4, 2026 marks a historic milestone — our nation’s 250th anniversary! What better way to honor this monumental occasion than by showing the true spirit of Rotary in action? Our Goal: 250 impactful service projects completed during the 2025–2026 Rotary year — that’s just 4 projects per club! We’ve Got This — Together! With our collective energy, passion, and purpose, this is more than achievable. It’s a chance to serve with heart, celebrate with joy, and add a big dose of FUN to the values we cherish. Let’s Share the Impact! Don’t forget to log your service projects on Rotary International’s “Service Project Center” — it’s quick, easy, and helps us showcase the amazing work you’re doing. To meet our goal of 250 projects, they need to be entered in the RI Service Project Center. All service projects are eligible to qualify for the goal, but they should be unique within your club. (Volunteering at the food bank counts once for the first time but not 12 times if you do it monthly) Need Help? The District Community Service Committee is ready to support you every step of the way. If you need support entering your project into the RI Service Project Center, please contact Dan Coons at dan.coons.888@gmail.com or 480-216-7836. Let’s make history together — one project at a time! |
