Speaker Responsibility Reminder – Let’s Share the Load!
Each member of the Franklin Rotary Club is responsible for securing a speaker for one meeting during the Rotary year. If you're unable to bring in an outside speaker, no problem — you can use your assigned week to share something about yourself! Whether it’s a hobby, a personal story, a unique skill, or a cause you care about, it’s a great chance for the club to get to know you better.

Let’s work together to keep our weekly programs engaging without putting the burden on just a few. Everyone takes one — simple as that!

I’m excited to invite you to join us for Club Culture Night, a multi-club event bringing together Rotarians from Franklin, Oil City, and Titusville for an evening of connection, conversation, and reflection.

Club culture is more than meeting schedules or long-standing traditions. It’s how we welcome new members, how we support one another, how we serve, and how our communities experience Rotary. This evening will give us the opportunity to come together across clubs to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore what a strong, healthy club culture looks like—and how it directly impacts engagement, growth, and community perception.

This will be an interactive and meaningful night with open dialogue, real examples, and practical takeaways you can bring back to your home club. Whether you’re a long-time Rotarian or newer to Rotary, your voice matters, and your perspective will add value to the conversation.

Thank you for all you do for Rotary and for your community. I hope you’ll join us for this collaborative and energizing evening with fellow Rotarians from Franklin, Oil City, and Titusville.

Please  RSVP - Club Culture Networking Event - 19-Feb-26
Note: you do not have to be logged in to submit the RSVP.
 

With appreciation and Rotary pride,

Join us for a special Bella Cheers event at Bella Cucina as we celebrate our 5th Tuesday Rotary gathering in a delicious way!

We’ll hold our regular Franklin Rotary Club lunch meeting at 12:00 PM in Bella’s back room, and then the celebration continues all day long.
