I am proud, honoured, and excited to be the 2025-2026 President of the Rotary Club of Picton.

 

Our Rotary theme for this year is 'Unite for Good' (So good, So good!), an idea that builds on the power of human connection and shared purpose, and encourages Rotary members to work together to create positive change in our community and around the world.

 

Speaking of Uniting for Good, we are pleased to announce that we will be partnering with The Blueberry Patch in Waupoos again this summer to provide 'Pick-your-own' berries to the community. Stay tuned for more details.

 

Upcoming on May 24 is our Annual Lilac Ride which features three marked courses (25km, 50km, 100km) and takes riders along some of Prince Edward County's most beautiful cycling routes. And then there is the Annual Golf Classic at the Picton Golf and Country Club on August 27.

 

All monies raised from our fundraisers are used to help with community initiatives, polio eradication, and for my Presidential year, our focus will be on kids. Speaking of youth, our club has joined forces with Wellington Rotary to bring back the Rotary Youth Exchange Program and we're looking forward to having an exchange in place for the 2026-27 year.

 

Best wishes for 2026!
