After assuming the office of President on July 1^st 2020, President Brittany Gloersen established a team of Rotary Minute Men--a committee dedicated to highlighting the vast successes of Rotarians around the world. Each week during the Membership Meeting, one of the Minute Men takes 60 seconds to regale all present with a story of how the power of Rotary was harnessed by a Rotary club, group of Rotarians, or a single Rotarian to create positive change. These stories truly personify Rotary's creed of "Service Above Self." While only 60 seconds in length, these Minute Men reports serve a lasting purpose. Both guests who are unfamiliar with Rotary, and members who have dedicated their lives to Rotary, can find inspiration in the subjects of the reports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Rotarians from DeLand’s three Rotary Clubs (Rotary Club of DeLand, DeLand Breakfast Rotary Club, and Rotary Club of Downtown DeLand) were joined by members of the DeLand High School Interact Club for a Service Project at the DeLand YMCA Saturday, March 10, 2018. 

     The task was to paint the outside Pool Area including hallways leading to the outside Pool.  Armed with brushes, rollers, scrapers, ladders, drop cloths, step stools, twenty gallons of paint, etc., the twenty-five energetic and enthusiastic volunteers accomplished the work in about three and a half hours.

     The highlight of this Service Project is a Mural that was designed by and also is being painted by Mike Orr.  In addition to the Rotary Logo and Motto, Mr. Orr’s mural has the names of the three DeLand Rotary Clubs and lists some significant Rotary projects.  Proceeds from the DeLand Christmas Parade, which is sponsored by DeLand’s three Rotary Clubs, funded this YMCA Pool Painting Project.
