Greetings From President Russ Decker

Fellow Rotarians and Friends,
 
Welcome! For the past 110 years the Rotary Club of Lima, Ohio has demonstrated how “Service Above Self” benefits our community and the world. I am humbled and honored to serve as our President for the 2025-2026 year.
 
One of our club’s first projects, the Special Needs Christmas Party, has been a project of love for our members and the fact that this project has survived over 100 years demonstrates the caring nature of our members. Add this project to some our landmark achievements including the Rotary River Walk, Rotary Pavilion in Faurot Park, the all-abilities baseball field, and most recently the creation of the downtown park and amphitheater in the heart of Lima, it becomes evident that we are making a difference.
 
I invite you to join us for lunch at our weekly meetings, every Monday, 11:45 a.m. at the civic center on Lima Town Square. Let’s continue to build upon our solid foundation of “Service Above Self.”
 
Yours in Rotary Service,
 
Russ Decker
