Welcome to the Rotary Club of Big Canoe
District 6910 News
What if the next person who walks into your Rotary meeting isn’t just a guest — but the key to ten new connections in your community? Over the next ten weeks, we’ll introduce a cast of characters who could walk into any town... and need your help. From realtors to retirees, teachers to techies, each one is looking for something your club can offer. Curious who’s first?
Speakers & Programs
July 3 - Terraces Concert
The Club is proud to be the featured sponsor for The Terraces Music event on July 3. Attendance at this event will count as meeting attendance for club members. The Club tent will be set up on-site, and all members are encouraged to attend, help welcome guests, and represent Rotary in the community. This is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, visibility, and service as we greet attendees and share the spirit of Rotary. The concert will feature Billy and the Jets and will begin at 7:00 p.m.
July 9 - Club Assembly
This Club Assembly will focus on the Club’s operations, priorities, and strategic direction for the new Rotary year. President Barbara will provide an overview of the goals and action plans that will guide our work in the months ahead, including upcoming fundraisers, service projects, programs, and community events. Members will also have the opportunity to learn more about the Club’s committees, consider where their interests and talents can best be used, and choose meaningful ways to become involved throughout the year.
The meeting will be at the Clubhouse Overlook with social time at 5:00pm and the meeting at 5:30pm.
July 16 - Maureen Clay
Retired Colonel Maureen Clay will lead a patriotic and thought-provoking program on “hinge moments” in history, with a special focus on how wartime weaponry has influenced the course of events. Rather than presenting this as a traditional lecture, Colonel Clay hopes to create an engaging discussion that invites members to reflect on moments in history that may have seemed small or insignificant at the time, yet ultimately led to major changes in the way people live, work, defend themselves, and understand the world. Members are encouraged to come prepared to share examples, questions, or observations about historical turning points that reshaped society in unexpected ways.
The meeting will be at the Clubhouse Overlook with social time at 5:00pm and the meeting at 5:30pm.
