The 2025-26 theme for Rotary International is “Unite for Good”. This is a fitting theme for Lawrence Central Rotary. Our club will unite to host the Community Bike Ride, celebrating the 15^th anniversary this year, at the Lawrence Arboretum in July. Lawrence Central Rotary will unite to host the annual Santa Rescue ceremony in November (just in time for his Christmas duties). We will unite in our efforts to produce and promote the Lawrence Kids Calendar throughout the year enabling families to find fun activities for kids in our community. Our club unites every week at our welcoming club meetings where we have informative speakers and fellowship. Finally, we will join at numerous social gatherings throughout the year.

Leading our club this year, I feel the support of all of our members and especially those that have led our club in the past. I’m looking forward to a fun-filled and productive year in Lawrence Central Rotary helping our community.

I’d like to invite you to attend one of our club meetings on Wednesdays at noon at the Lawrence Country Club and see for yourself!

President 2025-2026
