On Wednesday, December 11th, the Rotary Club of Tucson hosted its December “Events Around Town”, a fun and engaging way for members to gather and connect outside of the usual lunch meetings. As is tradition for the second week of the month, there was no scheduled club lunch, but instead, members gathered at various local restaurants across Tucson for fun social events hosted by fellow Rotarians.
A big thank you to our fantastic event hosts who made this gathering possible.
Each event provided an opportunity for members to enjoy great food, meaningful conversations, and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether it was enjoying BBQ, pizza, or a unique local dining experience, these gatherings allowed Rotarians to strengthen relationships and build connections within the club and the community. If you're interested in hosting an "Events Around Town" gathering in the future, please let President Kurtis or the Rotary office know. We just need the location and the number of people you'll be hosting.
We look forward to more successful events in the future!
Inviting prospective members to Rotary events is a great way to showcase the club's values and service. 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.
On December 10th, the Rotary Club of Tucson hosted its highly anticipated Whisky Fellowship event, drawing a lively crowd of about 25 guests to the home of Brett and Holly Stein. The event offered a unique blend of fun, fellowship, and whisky appreciation.
The festivities kicked off with an informal yet warm atmosphere, as attendees mingled and enjoyed an array of delicious food. However, the true highlight of the evening was the whisky tasting session led by Brett Stein, co-chair of the Whisky Fellowship. With over six decades of whisky collecting experience, Brett guided participants through a tasting, comparison, and analysis of a variety of exceptional whiskies.
With its blend of fellowship, fun, and fine spirits, the Whisky Fellowship Party proved to be a memorable evening for all involved. Guests left with not only a deeper appreciation for whisky but also a sense of camaraderie and anticipation for future Rotary events.

This past Saturday, December 14th, the Rotary Club of Tucson took part in the annual Salvation Army Bell Ringing event at various locations throughout Tucson. It was a heartwarming day of giving back to the community, with club members volunteering their time to spread holiday cheer and raising $3,597.87 for the Salvation Army’s vital programs. What an amazing day of service!
A big THANK YOU goes out to all the Rotarians who dedicated their weekend to ringing the bells. Your efforts truly make a difference in supporting those in need during the holiday season and beyond.
Here are some photos from Saturday’s event, capturing the spirit of generosity and community that defines the Rotary Club of Tucson. Thank you again to everyone who participated!
On Saturday, January 11th, 2025, members of the Rotary Club of Tucson will once again roll up their sleeves to help keep our city clean and beautiful. The Club will be gathering to participate in the Tucson Clean and Beautiful cleanup effort, focusing on a section of Oracle Road. This ongoing community service project is a great opportunity for members to give back to the community by picking up roadside debris and ensuring our local environment remains clean.
We encourage all RCOT members to join in the effort, especially as the post-holiday season often brings extra debris to our streets. Volunteers will meet early in the morning for a few hours of work, with the chance to make a visible and positive impact on our community.
If you’d like to be part of this important initiative, please join us on January 11th! We look forward to seeing you there and appreciate your dedication to keeping Tucson beautiful. ~~ Lee Olitzky
