25 YEARS. WE REMEMBER. WE HONOR. WE SERVE. 🇺🇸

Today marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, a day that changed our nation forever.

Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families forever changed, and the brave first responders, military members, public servants, and everyday heroes who answered the call when our country needed them most.

This morning, we gather not only to remember, but to honor.

Following the ceremony, we will continue our remembrance and honor the fallen heroes of September 11.

Today, we make sure the next generation remembers too.

We Remember.

The Rotary Club of Orange Park Sunrise is honored to be part of a community that believes remembrance should lead to action and that Service Above Self means showing up when it matters most.

A special morning for Rotary Orange Park Sunrise last Friday as we officially welcomed Nikki Glanville of Clay County Habitat into our club!!

Alexandra and the Membership Team guided the induction, sponsor Duane Mallicoat delivered the oath, and Ann Tabor pinned Nikki and presented her new‑member materials.

Nikki’s son was right there cheering her on, making the day even brighter.
We’re thrilled to have Nikki join our Rotary family!
