Randy's Roundup
Welcome to 2026!
 
With the Holidays behind us and, as we pass the halfway point of our Rotary year, it is a natural moment to pause, reflect, and give thanks. The past several months have been filled with meaningful accomplishments, each one a testament to your commitment, generosity, and belief in Service Above Self. Together, we have strengthened fellowship, supported our community, and advanced projects that reflect the very best of Rotary. With our vision statement guiding us, we are doing more good than I ever imagined. And all because of YOU!
 
While we are proud of what we have achieved, the second half of the year calls us to remain focused and energized. There is still important work left: Opportunities to serve, partnerships to deepen, and lives to impact. Rotary’s strength has always come from members who are willing to step forward, share their talents, and work collaboratively for the greater good.
 
I am continually inspired by the dedication I see in this club. Whether through hands-on service, a hand-up, leadership behind the scenes, or simply showing up with a willing heart, each of you plays a vital role in our success. 
 
As we move forward, I encourage everyone to stay engaged, invite new members to experience Rotary, and look for ways—both big and small—to make a difference. New members are the lifeblood of a vibrant club. Now is the time to encourage that friend, family member, neighbor, business associate, fellow church member or a casual acquaintance to join Rotary. 
 
As We Unite for Good, the remainder of this Rotary year holds great promise. With unity of purpose and a shared commitment to our mission, there is no limit to what we can accomplish together. Thank you for your service, your fellowship, and your unwavering support. I look forward to all that we will continue to achieve in the months ahead.
 
Club Vision Statement “To inspire and unite individuals who are passionate about making a lasting impact, both locally and globally, through service, connection and leadership.”
 
 
 
 
From the Editor: January 2026 Dues
 
By now, all club members should have received an invoice for January-June 2026 dues. Although Automated Clearing House (ACH) monthly withdrawals are still offered, starting now there will be a one percent (1%) charge for using this method.
 
The club still accepts checks for fee-free payments. Please make the check payable to a specific organization depending on what the funds are for:
  • Club Dues: Rotary Club of Arlington
  • Our Foundation: Arlington Rotary Foundation
  • Paul Harris Foundation: Rotary International Foundation
For either foundation, you may designate funds for specific uses as desired. For our local foundation, there are multiple designations:
  • Dancing With the Stars
  • End Polio Now
  • Lisann Peters Read With Rotary
  • Webb Elementary
Please write the designation either on the check memo line or with an included note. You may also donate unrestricted funds: These may be used for any purpose by the receiving foundation at their board's discretion.
 
Please present checks to one of the following people at a meeting: Brian Anderson, Rick Jenkins (our treasurer), or Steve Kleiber. Thanks for your contributions and dues!
