Sept. 10th, 2025

On this Patriot Day, we remember the victims, honor the first responders, and reflect on the power of unity that carried us forward after September 11, 2001. As Rotarians, we continue to uphold the values of service, unity, and peace in our communities and around the world.
💙❤️ Let us never forget.
