Meet Warren Feld! 🌟

In today’s Member Spotlight, Warren shares why he looks forward to our meetings every week.

Even as a newer member, Warren has quickly felt the impact of Rotary's mission. In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, he reminds us how Rotary brings back that vital sense of community. Not just right here in Columbia, but globally through initiatives like polio eradication.

For Warren, it’s all about making a difference and finding that connection. We are so glad to have him in our Rotary family! ⚙️💙

Fridays at Columbia Breakfast Rotary are always great, but they are especially great when they come with a side of fresh chocolate milk! ☀️🥛

A huge thank you to Laura Purtle from The Old Stone Creamery for joining us as our guest speaker this past Friday! She shared some fantastic insights about her business and the local dairy industry, and she definitely won the club over by bringing along some of her incredibly delicious chocolate milk to upgrade our breakfast table. 🥞🍫☕

We love learning about the amazing local businesses that make Maury County so special.

Missed out on the fun? We'd love to have you join us next week for breakfast, fellowship and another fantastic program!

Going once, going twice… SOLD! 🚜👑

Who knew the 2026 Mule Day Queen, Ava Sykes, had a secret talent for the auction block?! 📣

Watch as Her Majesty channels her inner auctioneer at this year's Mule Day Auctioneers Championship, put on annually by Columbia Breakfast Rotary Club. From practicing her tongue-twisters to hyping up the crowd, she nailed the chant to help auction off a classic John Deere pedal tractor!

👑 How do you think Queen Ava did? Drop a 🙌 in the comments if you think she has a future in auctioneering!

🎖️ Honoring a Legacy: Ellie Grace McLeod Named a Paul Harris Fellow

The Columbia Breakfast Rotary Club had the distinct privilege last week of honoring the memory of a truly exceptional Rotarian, lifelong educator, and community pillar — the late Eddie Hickman.

To celebrate Eddie’s enduring legacy of "Service Above Self," our club was proud to name his granddaughter, Ellie Grace McLeod, a Paul Harris Fellow. This recognition is one of the highest honors in Rotary, representing a deep commitment to making the world a better place, a trait Eddie lived out every single day.

It was an incredibly moving morning, made even more special by having Eddie's wonderful family there to share in the moment.

Eddie’s impact on Maury County as an educator and a friend will never be forgotten, and we are so proud to see his spirit of service carry on through the next generation. 💙
