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.

Venango Conservation District. I’m reaching out to share an exciting opportunity to support one of our county’s most impactful youth education events—the Venango County Envirothon.

🍝 Bella Cheers – 5th Tuesday Celebration 🍷

📍 Bella Cucina | Franklin, PA
📅 Tuesday, March 31, 2026
⏰ Rotary Lunch Meeting at 12:00 PM

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. A portion of the entire day’s sales at Bella Cucina will be generously donated to support the Franklin Rotary Club and the projects we lead throughout our community.

✨ That means you can support Rotary simply by enjoying lunch, dinner, takeout, or even drinks with friends and family!

This is a wonderful opportunity to:

• Support a locally loved restaurant

• Invest in service projects that strengthen our community

• Celebrate fellowship during our 5th Tuesday gathering

Bring a friend. Bring your appetite. And let’s turn pasta into purpose!

We are grateful to Bella Cucina for their partnership and generosity — we can’t wait to see you there!

Join us to hear information on upcoming events and projects.

It is with great excitement and deep respect that I invite you to attend a truly special event, our very first District 7280 Rotary Foundation Gala, titled “Gifts of Significance.” This meaningful evening will take place on Friday, June 5, 2026 at 6 PM at the historic Mercer County Courthouse and is a centerpiece of our annual district conference, DISCON26.

This gala is more than just a dinner; it is a celebration of Rotary’s lasting impact, the power of the Foundation, and the extraordinary significance we each carry as Rotarians. As District Governor, my message for the year is "Ignite Rotary, Inspire Impact, Instill Significance", a call to action that perfectly aligns with the heart of this event. I can think of no better person to help bring that message to life than you.

I hope you’ll consider joining us and helping make this inaugural celebration one to remember.

Come enjoy a potluck dinner and a summertime porch happy hour at Jessica's Home and bid farewell to presidency. Bring a dish and your favorite bevvy and enjoy a 5th Tuesday relaxing and reminiscing!
