On the evening of April 30, 2025, members of the Rotary Club of Tucson gathered at the elegant Mountain Oyster Club for The Event—a swanky celebration under the stars dedicated to honoring a year of service, connection, and community impact.
Hosted on the scenic patio, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter, camaraderie, and heartfelt toasts as Rotarians reflected on the many accomplishments of the past year. The night was a vibrant tribute to the spirit of Rotary, complete with fine cuisine, lively conversation, and the unmistakable joy of being among friends.
This special occasion served as a reminder of the meaningful difference we make together. Whether it was sharing stories, reconnecting with fellow members, or simply enjoying the beautiful surroundings, the evening captured the essence of Rotary fellowship.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the night so memorable.
Here’s to another incredible year of service and success. Cheers to all who make our club so impactful!
Inviting prospective members to Rotary events is a great way to showcase the club's values and service. The Club covering the cost of lunch for first-time attendees is a generous touch that can make newcomers feel welcome and appreciated. It's all about building connections and strengthening our impact in the community. We encourage you to bring your prospective members to a club meeting. They won’t be disappointed.
The RCOT road crew was out at 8:15 AM on 3/22/25 to clean up trash and debris on our section of Oracle Road. It was a bright and sunny morning.
Thank you to the members who participated in this community service project. The area we are responsible for looks much cleaner.
The next cleanup event is scheduled for Saturday, May 10th, at 8:15 AM. Tucson Clean and Beautiful staff will join us on May 10th. A strong turnout would be excellent.
