Fall Social Event 2024

Rotarians, family, and friends recently enjoyed a fall backyard social at the home of Tim and Deb Cornelius. It was a lovely evening of fellowship and food.

Rotary provides many opportunities to make friends with fellow leaders in the community who enjoy giving back and making a positive difference in the world.

RYLA 2024

The Burkburnett Rotary Club sent three BHS students (Lexi, Andrew, and Mitchell) to the Rotary Youth Leadership Camp this summer. RYLA is an intensive program for students, focusing on professional development, team building, community service, and leadership training. Lexi attended our weekly Rotary meeting to present her experiences at camp. She said she learned invaluable ‘Service Before Self’ lessons that she will carry into college and adulthood. She was very thankful for the opportunity to attend and encouraged the Burkburnett Rotary Club to continue to send students to RYLA. Pictured with Lexi are her dad and grandparents
