Happy New Year! As we put 2025 in the rearview mirror, we have so much to look forward to in 2026.
Our club is already busy planning some exciting events, including the Newark Rotary Family Festival, the Pancake Breakfast, and an upcoming visit from author Liz Garton Scanlon. It’s shaping up to be another great year of service, fellowship, and community impact.
Thank you for all you do, and here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
New Year, Fresh Start

Celebrating 100 Years of Newark Rotary
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! I am excited to see what this year holds for our club as we celebrate a very special milestone—our 100th year as a club.
As we look ahead, please be thinking about ways we can mark our 100th anniversary in a meaningful way while honoring Rotary’s core values: Service, Fellowship, Diversity, Integrity, and Leadership. This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our past, celebrate the present, and leave a lasting impact for the future.
Here’s to an incredible centennial year for Newark Rotary!
We meet at the Newark American Legion. We also make our meetings available via Zoom. If you are not a club member and wish to watch us on Zoom, please email us for the link. All are welcome to attend our in-person meetings.
