Speakers

We find ourselves navigating a period of profound challenge. Deep divisions and contrasting visions for our nation's future have brought us to a crossroads, marked by uncertainty and complexity. Yet, Rotary and its members have weathered such storms before. This presentation invites us to look back on those moments of resilience, to learn from Rotary’s enduring strength, and to chart a thoughtful course forward—together.

The Defeat of Jesse James Days Rotary Bike Tour is on September 12.  Come join the rallly as we prepare to make this year's bike tour another rousing success. 

This year, we have four incredible inbound youth exchange students from India, Taiwan, Japan and Italy. Please join us to give Pranjal, Amber, Kansuke and Nicola a warm Northfield Rotary Club welcome.   

I will be providing updates on the latest information on trafficking, HOPE Center's involvement and experience with responding to violence in our community and how you can help end violence against women. 

We live in a moment of heightened anxiety fueled by a host of factors.  Political division, harsh rhetoric, a lack of trust in institutions, international conflict and the recent activities of ICE in our state have left many of us overwhelmed.  Dan Dimick will reflect on steps we can take individually and collectively to build personal and community resilience and healing.
