Club Stories/Past Events

The Golden Triangle Rotary Club has been recognized with one of Rotary International’s highest distinctions—the 2024–2025 Club Excellence Award. This prestigious honor was formally presented by Rotary International President Stephanie A. Urchick and The Rotary Foundation Chair Mark Daniel Maloney, acknowledging the club’s outstanding service, leadership, and impact in the community.

The Club Excellence Award is given to Rotary clubs that demonstrate exceptional achievement across Rotary’s areas of focus, including community service, membership growth, support of The Rotary Foundation, and the promotion of Rotary’s values worldwide.

“Rotary clubs like Golden Triangle embody the very heart of what Rotary is all about,” said President Urchick. “Their commitment to service, innovative projects, and dedication to strengthening both local and global communities serve as an inspiration to us all.”

Chair Maloney added, “The Rotary Foundation thrives because of clubs like Golden Triangle. Their consistent support and hands-on service ensure that Rotary’s mission—to create lasting change across the globe—remains strong and impactful.”

The Golden Triangle Rotary Club has distinguished itself through a variety of impactful initiatives, including community development projects, youth engagement programs, support for veterans, and partnerships with local organizations to meet critical needs. Their service work reflects the spirit of “Service Above Self,” making a tangible difference in people’s lives.

Club President Jeff Swearingen expressed gratitude for the recognition:
“This award belongs to every member of our club who gives their time, talents, and resources to make a difference. It is a reflection of the passion and service mindset that drives the Golden Triangle Rotary Club forward.”

As the club celebrates this milestone, members remain committed to continuing their legacy of service, fellowship, and leadership, ensuring that Rotary’s vision—“Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change”—remains alive in the community.

🏃‍♂️💙 Golden Triangle Rotary Runs for a Cause! 💙🏃‍♀️

We were honored to participate in the Together 4 Nina 5K on Friday, April 4, 2025, joining our community in support of an incredible cause.

This event wasn’t just about crossing the finish line—it was about standing together, raising awareness, and showing love and strength for Nina and her family. The Golden Triangle Rotary is proud to support local efforts that inspire hope and make a real difference.

Huge thanks to all who came out, ran, walked, volunteered, or cheered—your energy and compassion were felt by all. 💪💛

🌳✨ Golden Triangle Rotary in Action! ✨🌳

This past week, we had the privilege of helping a local senior who was facing fines from the city due to a tree in her yard. Our Rotary team stepped in to cut down the tree, mow the lawn, and take care of all the necessary yard work, including weed-eating. It was a true testament to the power of community and service!

At Golden Triangle Rotary, we believe in helping those who need it most, especially our seniors. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who have given so much to our community.

If you know a senior who could use a helping hand or would like to get involved in our community service projects, reach out to us today! Let's continue to serve and make a lasting impact.
