SML Rotary held their Installation picnic at the Smith Mountain Lake Community Park. This venue was chosen because back in 2005, the Rotary Club of SML was struggling to continue to operate as a club. Together, with the Rotary Club of Rocky Mount, VA and local sponsors, the members decided to put in a playground. The membership grew by 3 times and the club was able to stay in good standing. Saturday, we unveiled an updated sign to honor the clubs and this playground.
We would like to thank President, Jeanette Handy, for an amazing 2023-2024 Rotary year! Our club flourished because of her dedication and support.
We would like to welcome our new President for the 2024-2025 year, Victor Evans! We look forward to everything you will accomplish this year.
A very special Paul Harris Fellow was given to Rotarian, Roger Henderson. Roger was our community service Chair. He played an important role in Adopt a Highway, Moneta Madness Disc Golf, The Giving Garden, and many more. Congratulations Roger and thank you for everything you do for the club!
Thank you to last year’s board members for your dedication and service and welcome this year’s board members!
Thank you to Area Governor, Tarek Moneir, for joining us and leading the induction!
And lastly, thank you to the friends and family of Rotary who help to make this club successful!
