Today we listened to four young ladies during our four way speech contest. They had to incorporate how our motto is applied in life.

Each speech was unique and very well done. Our club had a hard time picking the winner but after the vote:

First place- Naomi Randall- Warren High School

Second place- Constance Warner- Washington County Career Center.

Third place - Alexis Martin- Warren High School

Fourth place Alexis White- Fort Frye

Congratulations to all

We did it!

Thanks to the dedicated members of Rotary Club of Marietta District 6690 and our amazing community partners, we successfully collected 1,000 pounds of plastic as part of the NexTrex Challenge! This effort earned us a beautiful recycled bench that will be placed by Marietta Main Street and will serve as a lasting reminder of what we can achieve together.

A special thank you to our downtown businesses (especially Teri Anns and American Flags and Poles) that regularly contributed plastic—your support made all the difference!

This project is a testament to the power of service and sustainability. Great job, everyone! #ServiceAboveSelf #Rotary #NexTrexChallenge

We were introduced to the new head football coach or Marietta College Mr. Tom Kaufman.

Rotary Club of Marietta District 6690 is thrilled to be volunteering for the Christmas Day Feast - Marietta, OH🎄this year, helping bring holiday cheer to our community.

This special event is even brighter thanks to WMOA WJAW, who will be including a stuffed animal🧸with every Christmas Day meal delivered to families with children. When we heard they were running short on donations, our club stepped up! The need was shared during our meeting and our members responded immediately—some donated stuffed animals, while others gave funds so we could shop for more. By that afternoon, we were able to deliver a collection of cuddly companions to get them closer to their goal. ❤️

Together, we’re making the holidays a little brighter for those who need it most.

This weeks lunch meeting we learned about the Christmas Day feast. They are in need of volunteers and if you are wanting free meal you have until December 18th to register. All the details are below.

Annual dinner hosted for residents in Marietta, OH (and surrounding areas). This mission assists our neighbors who do not get to enjoy a warm meal or who do not have family or friends to spend Christmas day with. Our mission is to provide the meals and fellowship these individuals are lacking to make their holiday a little brighter.

Thanks to their generosity and holiday spirit, we’re helping to bring the magic of Christmas morning to 11 children in our community. From high chairs to skateboards, and everything in between, we’re spreading joy, hope, and love to make this season truly special. 🎁🎅

Thanks to Marietta Community Foundation and Kinetic Networking for boosting the amount of each child!

Moments like this remind us of the power of service and the importance of giving back. Here’s to making spirits bright! ✨🎄 #RotaryInAction #ServiceAboveSelf #ChristmasJoy

Serving Together for a Stronger Community!
Our Rotary Club was proud to volunteer at today’s Mobile Market Food Distribution hosted by the SE Ohio Foodbank & Kitchen at the Washington County Fairgrounds.

From fresh produce to shelf-stable staples, hundreds of our neighbors received the support they needed — and we were honored to lend a hand. 💪🥕🧀

Rotary is about Service Above Self, and today was a powerful reminder of how impactful that service can be when we come together.
