A Message From President Sylvia
It is with great honor and gratitude that I step into the role of President of Eugene Southtowne Rotary Club. As we enter this new Rotary year, I am filled with hope, purpose, and excitement for all that lies ahead. Together, we will live out this year’s Rotary International theme-“The Magic of Rotary: United for Good.”
My journey with Rotary has been shaped by a passion for service, international connection, and community engagement. As a self-employed travel agent, I ‘ve had the privilege of connecting with people and cultures across the world. I am deeply involved in both local and global service, I believe in Rotary’s unique ability to bridge cultures, transform communities, and create lasting impact. From supporting youth empowerment to strengthening inclusive partnerships across our community, we will continue making a difference-united in purpose and action.
This year, we’ll focus on deepening our fellowship, expanding our reach, celebrating the vibrant legacy of Eugene Southtowne Rotary as we approach our 50th anniversary in 2025. I encourage every member to embrace this journey with renewed commitment and enthusiasm, knowing that when we are united for good, our impact is boundless.
On a personal note, I am proud to call Eugene home. I am married to my wonderful husband, who was born and raised in Billings, Montana. Together, we are blessed with four beautiful children. Our family values of service, compassion, and unity continue to inspire my leadership and dedication to Rotary.
Let us serve, lead, and grow-together. Eugene Southtowne Rotary is NOT Sylvia but rather it’s you and me!
