121 Anniversary of Rotary
🎉💛 Today, February 23, 2026, we celebrate 121 years of "Service Above Self" through Rotary International! 🌍💙

💫For more than a century, Rotarians around the world have come together with one shared purpose: 

🗣️ To make a difference in our communities and across the globe.

💥From supporting local families in times of need, to advancing education, promoting peace, providing clean water, fighting disease, and working toward the eradication of polio, Rotary’s impact reaches far beyond what any one of us could do alone.

♦️We serve because we believe in community.
♦️We serve because we believe in integrity.
♦️We serve because we know that small acts — when multiplied by many — create lasting change.

💙 💛Being a Rotarian means building friendships, strengthening communities, and stepping up when help is needed. It means living our motto, Service Above Self, not just today — but every day.

🎉Here’s to 121 years of compassion, leadership, and impact — and to many more years of serving together. ❤️💛💙
