Bring Your Service Project Ideas!

You asked, and we’re listening.

At this week’s meeting, we’ll be brainstorming new service project ideas, and we want your input!  We’re especially interested in hearing what our newest members are passionate about. With the support and experience of our longer-standing members, we can turn your ideas into meaningful action.

Rotary District 7910 has set aside funds for new service projects, so please come prepared with any ideas you may have, big or small, for projects our club could take on this term and next.

Your ideas help shape what we do together. We’re excited to hear your thoughts and collaborate to make a positive impact.

Please remember to register, and we look forward to seeing you at the meeting on the 19th!

All are welcome to join us.

A Zoom meeting you will not want to miss!!!

This week we will be meeting on Zoom with an amazing former member of the Rotary Club of Weston & Wayland, Michael Dexter-Smith, who will be joining us from Western North Carolina to share exciting news about a new Youth Hub coming to Rosman, a small and economically challenged town in Appalachia.

The Brevard Rotary is leading this transformational three-year initiative, a $1 million investment in Appalachian youth. Through this effort, they have acquired and developed the TenTwentySix Youth Hub in Rosman, creating a dedicated space designed to support, inspire, and empower young people in the community.

 Michael Dexter-Smith describes himself as an Entrepreneurial Philanthropist, someone who builds ventures with purpose and applies business discipline to community impact. Over the past decade, Michael has devoted much of his time to community leadership. 

As President of his Rotary Club in Hawaii, he led membership growth from 40 to nearly 90 members, making it the second largest club in the Hawaiian Islands

After relocating to Transylvania County, North Carolina, he helped grow the Rotary Club of Brevard from 9 to more than 50 members, focused squarely on measurable community impact. The club emphasizes action over ceremony, just meaningful work in the community.

Michael currently serves as Treasurer of the Rotary Club and its Foundation and is Chapter Chair for SCORE Western North Carolina.

Bring Your Service Project Ideas Part 2!
