For almost 40 years, Members of the Rotary Club of Weston have been providing help where needed to Weston, the surrounding communities, and the World. Rotarians are known by their motto, Service Above Self, and we are often asked by others who see us at service projects around town (like the Rise Against Hunger event held last month at the YMCA), “How can I get involved?” The answer is that it’s simpler than ever. The Rotary Club of Weston not only meets every Thursday morning at The Club at Weston Hills for a 7:30 am breakfast meeting but has added two more outreach groups as part of the Club. A twice-monthly meeting on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6pm and another on the second and fourth Thursday also at 6pm. Both meetings rotate locations and are typically held at partnering restaurants around town. Those joining either of these new groups are full Members of the Rotary Club of Weston and these added time and location options have made it attractive for those that are unable to make the early morning meetings but want to be involved in service projects to help others.
The Evening Club, which has been meeting for the past 6 months, is a casual group of men and women who enjoy not only the service aspects but also the social aspects the group offers. At each meeting local experts are invited to speak about relevant and interesting topics. In recent months topics have included bee keeping and pollination, photography, floral arranging, recycling, fasting, mixology and even “what to do if you win the lottery”. Most meetings at the evening club last an hour and refreshments are usually served.
For those wishing to speak in their native Spanish language, we have a second option. The Rotary Club of Weston Impact Group now meets the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 6pm, with one of the monthly meetings being held in Spanish and the other being more of a social event where all languages are spoken. This group also rotates amongst area restaurants and businesses and is open to all.
Members of these 2 new groups enjoy the benefits of being part of the Rotary Club of Weston, with its many opportunities for participating in large group service projects like weekend beach clean-ups, food bank distribution, bike collections and other events raising funds for worthwhile charities in South Florida and beyond.
