Greetings From President Craig Kupferberg

Fellow Rotarians and Friends,

Welcome! Thank you for visiting the Rotary Club of Lima. For more than 110 years, our club has lived the Rotary motto, "Service Above Self," making a lasting difference in our community and around the world. It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as President for the 2026–2027 Rotary year.

Since our earliest days, our members have been committed to improving the lives of others. One of our very first service projects, the Special Needs Christmas Party, has brought joy to countless families for more than a century—a testament to the compassion and dedication of our members.

Over the years, our club has also helped create many lasting community assets, including the Rotary River Walk, the Rotary Pavilion in Faurot Park, the all-abilities baseball field, and, most recently, the downtown park and amphitheater in the heart of Lima. These projects reflect what can be accomplished when people come together with a shared commitment to serving others.

Whether you are interested in giving back to the community, building meaningful friendships, developing professionally, or simply learning more about Rotary, we would love to meet you. I invite you to join us for lunch at one of our weekly meetings, held every Monday at 11:45 a.m. at the Civic Center on Lima Town Square. You'll find a welcoming group of people who are passionate about making a positive impact.

Together, we can continue our tradition of "Service Above Self" and help shape an even brighter future for our community.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Craig Kupferberg
President
