Welcome from Our Club President

Dear friends and neighbors,

It is a privilege to serve as President of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton this year. Since our charter in 1957, this club has awarded more than 600 scholarships, built the OPAL Gala and the Future Stars Performing Arts Competition into Boca Raton traditions, and stayed close to the students and families who need us most. In 2027 we mark our 70th year of service to this city.

Seventy years is a long time to keep showing up. What has kept this club strong is not any single project but the people behind them: members who lend their time, their professions, and their relationships to work that outlasts them. That is what I intend to protect and grow this year, across our scholarship and mentorship program, our youth services, our global impact grants, and every project our committees take on.

Rotary works because people show up. If you have been thinking about getting involved, this is the year to do it. Join us for lunch, meet the members, and see the work firsthand. You do not need an invitation and you do not need a background in philanthropy. You need to care about Boca Raton and be willing to lend a hand.

Yours in Rotary,

Tom Giunta    
Club President, 2026–2027
