From pancakes to King Cakes! πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’›

Rotary Club of Mid-City New Orleans as the kings and queens of Carnival raising money at Second Line Brewing. We enjoyed 15 cakes and raised over $700 for the Family Justice Center and our Interact Club.
 
We also hung out with our new friends from Little Rock After-hours Rotary & DGE Deb and partner Craig from the Queensland Australia Rotary Club (who I met at International Assembly).
 
Annnnnnd then we dropped off a case of Second Line beer, Mid-City Koozies, and King Cakes to PDG Vicky as they kick off a Zone Institute committee meeting this weekend!
Northlake-Mandeville Rotary Club members put in some work this past weekend at our Safe Haven playground project in Mandeville.
 
It is a continued work in progress, as the next opportunity to volunteer is Saturday, January 31st.

πŸ’Όβœ¨ January Theme: Vocational Service βœ¨πŸ’Ό

January is all about Vocational Service - putting our passions, skills, and careers to work for good! Whether you’re leading with integrity, mentoring others, or simply showing up with purpose, every profession is a chance to serve. 🌍🀝

Rotarians don’t just work jobs - we make a difference through them. Let’s celebrate the talents within our club and the impact we make every day, on and off the clock! πŸ’™βš™οΈ
