Crestview Rotary Club

This week we were able to listen to Maura Ruiz of Safe Connections - Family Visitation Center! She shared their daily mission of providing a safe and nurturing environment to help reconnect children with nonresidential parents.

Maura gave us insight into how they operate daily and the great impact on people’s lives they have made during their time. She also shared some current donation needs they have like snacks for the kids, new indoor games, or IT and technology services! 🪀💻

Thank you for coming and telling us about the work Safe Connections is doing. 📝

On Friday we joined the ribbon cutting for Saving Grace - Florida to celebrate their opening in our community!

They have a powerful mission to help rescue women from abuse, homelessness and addiction. We were honored to present them a check for $1,000 to help support their presence and their work in our community.

Thank you for all you do!

Honoring our past and celebrating our future at Crestview Rotary’s Changing of the Guard dinner.
Our club came together for food, drinks, and plenty of laughter as we thanked our outgoing president and board for a year of dedicated service, and welcomed our new and returning board members for the year ahead.
We were proud to recognize Dale as our Rotarian of the Year and Asher from the Rotaract Club with the Service Above Self award.
To cap off the night, President Phillip officially passed the gavRotary District 6940resident, Willie, as we gear up for another great year of Service Above Self here in Crestview.

🙏 Honored to host Saving Grace Ministries, a 12-month program rescuing women from addiction, abuse & homelessness in Baker, FL. Saving Grace - Florida

They came with a message. We left with a reminder: the most impactful work rarely makes headlines. It just changes lives.

This past weekend was one for the books! 📚

We volunteered for the first Crestview Remote Area Medical (RAM) Volunteer Corps event. Over the weekend more than 350 people were registered to receive either medical, dental, or vision services at no cost to them. From a needed tooth extraction 🦷, to a new pair of prescription glasses 👓, RAM was able to lend a powerful hand to our community with over $267,000 in services!

Thank you to RAM, all of the medical professional volunteers, and to everyone who contributed to make this event happen. We look forward to their presence each year!

Shoutout to Eagles Nest for bringing us some great food to help us through the night 🌯🥪.

🎓 Congratulations to this year’s Baker High School scholarship recipient!
We are proud to support a graduating senior who is heading into a welding program — a skilled trade that builds our communities and our future.
At the Crestview Rotary Club, Service Above Self isn’t just a motto. It’s why we show up — in our schools, for our students, and across our community.
Wishing this young man every success on the road ahead. We’re rooting for you! 🔩🔥

We loved having Healing Paws for Warriors, Inc. join us at our meeting today. We presented them a check for $1,000 from funds raised at our Rotary Round Up this year. 👏

Thank you to everyone who participated to help support the powerful mission this group has! It has touched us, and we always enjoy when they visit! 🦮
