"Serve to Change Lives" was the Rotary International theme for July 1st, 2021 through June 30th, 2022 - the Rotary Club of Dunkirk-Fredonia did just that! Throughout the Rotary Year, under the immense leadership and guidance of President Diane Hannum, Rotarians helped change communities and lives for the bettter.
We will gather together on Thursday, July 7th at 4:30 PM at Point Gratiot to honor President Diane, and all of her accomplishments as we prepare to "Imagine Rotary" under the leadership of incoming President, Melanie Witkowski. Being a Rotarian is a privilege like no other, we put others' needs before our own and follow the motto - Service Above Self! Take a look at all of our accomplishments:
