On April 29, by popular demand, the MIX & MINGLE returns! Some of the greatest values of Rotary membership are camaraderie and networking. No matter your needs, it seems there is always a Rotarian who can help. 

In lieu of a scheduled speaker, we will have questions to be discussed at the tables between members. This will be a fun opportunity to get to know each other better, as well as learn some things you “might not know.” I hope you plan to attend and be prepared to have some fun.

What a night to remember!

On April 22, Rotarians gathered at the beautiful Tucson Country Club for The Event—an evening that perfectly captured the heart, humor, and impact of our club. From the moment guests arrived, the room buzzed with energy, laughter, and the unmistakable spirit of Rotary fellowship.

Dressed in classy casual style, attendees enjoyed a delicious meal while reconnecting with friends and making new ones. The evening struck a perfect balance between celebration and reflection, as we honored the incredible achievements and dedication of our members over the past year. From meaningful service projects to lasting community impact, it was inspiring to look back on all that we’ve accomplished together.

Of course, no Rotary gathering would be complete without a little fun! The night was filled with lighthearted moments, shared stories, and plenty of laughter—reminding us that while our mission is serious, the journey is meant to be enjoyed.

As glasses were raised and applause filled the room, one thing was clear: this club is powered by passionate people who truly make a difference. The Event wasn’t just a celebration of the past year—it was a reminder of the strong connections we’ve built and the exciting work still ahead.

Here’s to another year of service, friendship, and making an impact—together!

Events Around Town (EAT) — Wednesday, May 13 🍽️

Trade the usual routine for something a little more flavorful—Events Around Town (EAT) is back on Wednesday, May 13! Instead of our regular meeting, Rotarians will head out across town from 12:00–1:30 p.m. to gather in smaller groups for lunch, conversation, and connection.

EAT is your chance to mix it up—meet someone new, catch up with familiar faces, and enjoy a relaxed midday break in a more personal setting. Whether you’re there for the food, the fellowship, or a bit of both, there’s always something special about these around-town gatherings.

Keep an eye out for location details and sign-up information coming soon. Be sure to reserve your spot early—these tables tend to fill up fast!

No podium, no program—just good company and great conversation. See you around town on May 13!

Our Home Hospitality events are scheduled for the week of May 26^th through the 31^st and we are looking for members to host during the week.  These social events will replace our Wednesday, May 27^th lunch meeting.   If you are interested in hosting a small or large group at your home, place of business or even at a restaurant, please let Dorinna know the date, time, location and the amount of guests you will host. 

This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow Rotarians during this Home Hospitality Week!
