The Rotary Club of Aurora our monthly social event brought together Rotarians and members of the Interact Club for an evening of fun, connection, and friendly competition. High school students and Rotarians shared stories, played Uno, enjoyed board games, and built lasting friendships in an informal, relaxed setting. These gatherings embody Rotary’s commitment to fostering community and intergenerational dialogue, showing how service extends beyond projects to creating bonds that strengthen the fabric of our local and global communities. Through these interactions, we inspire the next generation of leaders to embrace Rotary’s values of fellowship, service, and leadership.
On the first Wednesday of every month in conjunction with The Aurora High School, the RCA celebrates the Students of the Month. Each student receives a $25 gift card and presents to the Club a brief bio about themselves and their future goals. For the month of February, we were delighted to hear from Dallas Kohl and Deepti Panguluri.

A word from our President Vic Baerman:
I like to think that Rotary provides a platform to make us better people. That platform is the “Magic of Rotary” which happens to be this year’s Rotary International Presidential Theme. We are a club of kind, service-oriented individuals working together toward a common goal. As a group, we do what we can to make a positive impact on people and our community.
We are fortunate that our club has many assets including a dedicated sub-group of members who get things done. Deep ties with the Aurora School System that has one of the largest student Interact clubs in Ohio. We also maintain a strong public image with visibility within Aurora City Government, the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and other local service organizations. We will continue to leverage these assets.
We are part of Rotary because of friendship, fellowship and community service, and we are inspired and humbled through our contribution. This year I want to foster diversity, inclusion and a sense of belonging in our club. Let’s have fun while we get things done! In closing, let’s move forward as a team, knowing that we have each other’s back and that happiness comes through “Service above Self”.
Sincerely with kind regards,
Vic
