⭐️ Big Win at District Assembly: A New Stand, A New Impact! Cue the confetti — we have made history! The Rotary Club of IMPACT Ocala is now officially recognized as a standalone club by District Governor Mickey Ulmer on April 15. At the Rotary District 6970 Assembly on April 26 in Palm Coast, Andrea Jayne Proeber, Phyllis Shapiro Silverman, and Herb Silverman proudly sealed the deal on behalf of our club. Becoming a chartered Rotary club is not just a local achievement — it is a powerful state

Our first major fundraiser was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who helped set up, sell books, and spread the word. We especially appreciate RCIO's Phyllis Silverman, Barbara Fitos, Tony Park, Tom Hotte, Karen Merritt, Mike Miller, Herb Silverman, Wanda Adams, & Shawn Derrick for their dedication and hard work during this event. Your efforts ensured that all proceeds go to the Marion County Animal Shelter, which received almost $1,400 from the sale, making a meaningful impact in our community.

The Rotary Club of IMPACT Ocala officially chartered on August 13 with a special dinner event welcoming twelve new Chapter Members into the Rotary International family.
