Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and represents freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey towards equality. As Rotarians, we are committed to celebrating diversity and fostering inclusivity within our communities worldwide.

Juneteenth is a reminder of the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead. It's a day to reflect on our collective history and renew our dedication to creating systems that support justice, equity, and freedom for all.

At Rotary, we believe in the power of community and the importance of diverse voices in shaping a better world. By championing the freedom of the press and supporting initiatives that promote transparency and truth, we strive to empower individuals and communities globally.

Today, let's honor the spirit of Juneteenth by committing to actions that uplift, educate, and inspire positive change. Together, we can build stronger, more inclusive communities and a world where every individual is truly free.

Happy Juneteenth!

Happy Father's Day from the Rotary Club of Greenville City Center!

We are thrilled to announce that our recent car show, "Cars for C.A.R.T.," was a tremendous success. Thanks to your support and participation, we raised $560 for Alzheimer's research.

We had 22 amazing cars enter the show, with two standout winners:

The pre-1982 award went to a stunning 1968 SS Chevelle. 🏆
The post-1982 award was claimed by a classic 1985 Chevrolet C10 pickup.🏆

This event would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, showed their cars, voted, and entered the car show. Your enthusiasm and generosity made this event memorable.

A special thanks to our sponsor, Caroline Truck Shop, for hosting refreshments and advertising our event and to City Range Steakhouse for allowing us to use their parking space.

Had a great time at the Rotary/Links social tonight at Southern Culture. Hope everyone that missed can make it next month.

Members of our club volunteered last weekend at the Greenville Literacy Association’s Really Good, Really Big, Really Cheap Book Sale! We hope you all found some great reads! 📚

We were pleased to host Jason Ross, Lieutenant Colonel and member of our club, as well as Zhe “Jer” Little, Second Lieutenant, to speak on behalf of the South Carolina State Guard (SCSG) last week.
Jason said, “As a member, Second Lieutenant Zhe Little and myself had the amazing opportunity to speak to explain the history and mission of the SC State Guard. This great opportunity opened up the doors to share what we do for South Carolina, especially during natural disasters.

We gained three potential recruits from this meeting and other amazing opportunities for the SCSG.

Listen…For others, if you seriously want to be part of something bigger than yourselves, while serving the oldest military department in our Nation, private message me. We are taking potential candidates that are one, serious, and two, really want to make a difference when our State needs us.”

The South Carolina State Guard’s mission is, “Trained and Ready”. Please contact Jason if you are interested in becoming involved! Thank you for speaking to the club and sharing your fantastic work!

Thank you to everyone who supported our hot chocolate and donut fundraiser at the Greenville Poinsettia Christmas parade! Big thanks to all our club members who greatly contributed to preparation and to the students who volunteered to help us! Happy holidays everyone!

See you tomorrow in downtown Greenville for the Poinsettia Christmas parade! Get there early for a good seat, and we’ll come by with the hot cocoa and donuts! The proceeds from this fundraiser will support our Rotary club

Are you ready to kick off the holiday season with the Greenville Poinsettia parade? We are too! Find us selling hot chocolate and donuts before the parade begins this Saturday!

I’m thankful I belong to a group that took the time today to honor the Veterans in our lives. There were many great stories, some humorous, some serious. 🇺🇸

We were honored on Friday to hear from Myron Wilkins, President and CEO of Thornwell. This organization in Clinton, SC, has academic, family, and care programs to support families and prevent child abuse and neglect. What a great organization positively impacting the community!
