Welcome to the Rotary Club of Annapolis!
For more than eight decades, our club has brought together people who share a passion for service, fellowship, and making a difference in our community and around the world. As we begin a new Rotary year under the theme Create Lasting Impact, I am honored to serve as President of this remarkable organization. With nearly 150 members, we have an extraordinary opportunity to strengthen our impact by increasing engagement—both between our club and the greater Annapolis community, and among our members themselves.
Rotary is at its best when people are connected. This year, we will focus on creating meaningful opportunities for members to build relationships, participate in service projects, develop leadership skills, and experience the camaraderie that makes Rotary so special. Whether you are a longtime member, a prospective member, or a community partner, I invite you to become involved and discover the many ways Rotary enriches lives while addressing real needs in our community and beyond.
We also look forward to three signature events that help bring our mission to life: our 81st Annual Crab Feast on August 7, our Charity Golf Tournament on October 19, and our Black Tie & Diamonds Gala on March 20, 2027. These events not only raise critical funds for our charitable work but also showcase the spirit of service and fellowship that defines the Rotary Club of Annapolis.
We welcome all who are interested in making a difference to join us. With a variety of meeting days and times, we strive to make Rotary accessible to busy professionals, retirees, community leaders, and anyone who shares a commitment to service. I encourage you to visit a meeting, lend a hand at a service project, meet our members, and experience firsthand the energy and purpose that drives our club.
Rotary is more than an organization—it is a community of people united by a desire to serve others and improve lives. I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our projects and events, and discover how you can become part of our story. Together, we will create lasting impact—one project, one partnership, and one relationship at a time.
Yours in Rotary Service,
Jim Sherrick
President, 2026–2027
Rotary Club of Annapolis
