As Rotary begins a new year of service, Rotary International is calling on members around the world to embrace the 2026-27 theme,“Create Lasting Impact.” The theme encourages Rotarians to focus not only on creating change, but on building results that endure in our communities, our organizations, and in our own lives. Rotary International President Olayinka H. Babalola reminds us that meaningful impact comes when people unite, take action, and invest in solutions that continue to benefit others long after a project is complete.
For our club, “Create Lasting Impact” is both a challenge and an opportunity. Whether we are supporting local students, strengthening community partnerships, fighting disease, or other initiatives, we strive to leave a positive mark that lasts for generations. Throughout the coming year, we look forward to highlighting projects and stories that demonstrate how Rotarians are making a sustainable difference—locally, globally, and personally. Together, we can create a legacy of service that inspires others and strengthens our community for years to come.
Our paper goods supply drive for Promise Pointe was a huge success!
Throughout August, our team collected much-needed paper goods and household essentials for the residents of Promise Pointe, and this week we had the opportunity to deliver everything that was donated.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make the drive a success! We’re grateful for the opportunity to support Promise Pointe and the important work they do in our community.
Victoria Northside Rotary is proud to participate in the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent’s 2026 Hunger Hero Challenge!
The Challenge begins with a Kick-Off Luncheon on Monday, August 24, from noon to 1 p.m. at Texas A&M University–Victoria. Throughout September, participating teams will earn points by raising funds, collecting food, volunteering, recruiting new teams, and purchasing official Hunger Hero shirts and yard signs.
Every contribution will help provide food and support to neighbors facing hunger across our community. We look forward to working together, having some friendly competition, and showing what Rotary’s commitment to “Service Above Self” can accomplish.
