Serving as President of the Blue Bell Rotary Club for 2025–2026 is both an honor and a privilege.
Our club is made up of generous, collaborative, and service-minded individuals, united by a shared goal: to give back. Whether through hands-on volunteering or partnerships with local nonprofits, we are committed to improving lives and strengthening our community.
Our goals for the year are simple but meaningful:
- Build on our strong foundation. For over 35 years, Blue Bell Rotary has been a force for good, guided by the motto “Service Above Self.” We’ve contributed thousands of volunteer hours and raised significant funds to support those in need.
- Expand our reach—locally and globally. We’ll deepen impact through new initiatives and partnerships, including increased collaboration with other Rotary clubs.
- Empower our members. Our club is full of talented individuals. When we use our strengths together, great things happen.
- Ensure our projects are impactful, engaging, and uplifting for all involved.
While Rotary International supports a wide range of causes, Blue Bell Rotary members focus much of our energy on helping local children and families in our local community. Our members give generously of their time—mentoring and uplifting youth, hosting fundraisers, and partnering with nonprofits that serve vulnerable populations. The needs are significant, and so is our opportunity to make a difference.
Our service also extends far beyond our own community. Blue Bell Rotarians support dental and medical missions abroad, disaster relief efforts, and other global humanitarian initiatives. One project at a time, we strive to make a lasting impact worldwide.
We are proud to be part of a global network that includes over 46,000 Rotary clubs and 1.2 million members, all united by a shared dedication to service, integrity, and fellowship. From combating disease to safeguarding the environment, providing clean water and sanitation, and promoting peace, Rotary has a significant worldwide influence and reach.
This year’s Rotary theme, “Unite for Good!”, captures the spirit of our mission—bringing people together to create lasting, positive change. Rotary offers not only the chance to serve but also the opportunity to grow, connect, and lead with purpose. If this mission speaks to you, we’d love to meet you.
The Blue Bell Rotary Club meets most Tuesday mornings from 7:30–8:30 a.m. at College Hall on the Montgomery County Community College campus. Guests are always welcome!
On the last Tuesday of each month, we gather at a local restaurant for a casual social, supporting local businesses and building deeper connections among members and guests. Check our calendar for details.
We hope to see you soon!
Mary Vila,
President, Blue Bell Rotary Club
