Hudson Rotary Poised for an Exciting Year
The Rotary Club of Hudson has begun the year with new members, engaging speakers, major community projects, charitable activities and plans for an enhanced Annual Gala. A combination of new and veteran leaders is strategically implementing the Club’s Long-Range Plan approved in early 2022.
 
Weekly speakers have addressed the topics of Health and Wellness and community Youth Activities in the first two months of 2023. Upcoming months will be devoted to the Environment, Youth Education, Summer Fun, Public Safety and Northeast Ohio History. These professional presentations are typically complimented by Club member questions after the speech.
 
New Club members in the past year represent a cross section of the Hudson community including lawyers, business entrepreneurs, school administrators, a financial director and a bar association administrator. Each of these new members has eagerly taken the opportunity to get involved in a Rotary project that suits their interest and their abilities to contribute ideas. 
 
Major community projects as set forth in the Long-Range Plan are well underway with over $250,000 raised for restoration of the historic log cabin on Main Street and the establishment of two pollinator gardens at Hudson elementary schools. In both cases, Rotary members are working with school and scouting members on projects that will enhance our community. Watch for the log cabin renovation and the pollinator garden sites to become active in the Spring. The dedication of the cabin is scheduled for August.
 
Fun events involving Rotary members will be coming up in the next six months including a Camp Manatoc service day, an Octoberfest Biergarten, the Gala auction and a community parade. These annual events allow Rotary members to participate, side by side, with other Club members and with the public to serve the community. Best of all is the annual Santa-on-the-Green event which became Santa-in-the-Cabin this past Christmas much to the delight of parents and kids alike who enjoyed the warm fireplace and log cabin ambience. 

 

The Annual Gala will take place on May 19 at the Twinsburg Hilton Garden Inn featuring both a silent auction during the cocktail hour and a live auction after dinner. Beneficiaries this year will be Hudson High School college scholarships, Hudson EMS and The Gift of Life Northeast Ohio. Kaulig Giving will once again be the lead sponsor and an exciting gift for the live auction has already been received from Gervasi’s for an overnight stay and dinner. A raffle will again offer a “monthly out-to-dinner date night” package to include many local upscale restaurants.

If you are interested in joining the Hudson Rotary, you can check out our speakers, projects and fun activities at www.rotaryhudson.org. You might also contact any of our Committee Chairs listed on the website to explore your specific community interests. We look forward to talking to you or having you join us for a future breakfast meeting.
 
Rotary is a worldwide network of 1.4 million people of action who tackle the most persistent problems in our communities while building professional and leadership skills through meaningful connections.
Speaker Themes for Coming Months
 
The Rotary Club of Hudson’s weekly meetings feature speakers/presentations from important community leaders, business managers, sports and recreation representatives, student organization members and charitable foundation executives.  Weekly sessions are recorded for Hudson’s HCTV and YouTube, accessible by all local citizens. Rotary members and guests appreciate the opportunity to interact with and ask questions of each speaker.
 
Join newer members Barbara Marshall, Mandi Connelly, Rodney Long, Ginny Frazer and Tom Petropolis who are enjoying the weekly presentations and have introduced new speakers to the Club. In addition, Tom has taken over responsibilities for video taping each meeting and initiating Zoom broadcasts.
 
Each month incorporates a theme that defines the speaker topics for that month and ties into presentations from previous years. Following are the monthly themes:
 
- January: Health and Wellness (Health Care Institutions and Medical Professionals)
- February: Community Youth (Scouting, Junior Achievement, and HHS Service Learning)
- March: Environment and Sustainability (Rotary 4 Way Speech Contest and Gala Preview)
- April: Education
- May: Summer Fun Venues
- June: Public Safety
- July: Northeast Ohio History
 
One of the great strengths of the Rotary Club of Hudson is the knowledge imparted to its members by the weekly meetings and the resulting opportunities for members to become involved in various community activities.
 
If you would like to join us for a future meeting (Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:30 am at Hudson Meadows on Barlow Rd), please register here. We look forward to having you as a guest!
