On Giving Tuesday, the Rotary Club of Quincy had the privilege of welcoming past Rotary International director and current Rotary Foundation trustee Larry Lunsford to talk about both the global impact and personal influence of Rotary International. ![]()

Larry's connection with Rotary began in 1982 as a college student when he was selected as a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar to Australia. Over the last 40 years, Larry has been a Rotary leader at the club, district and international levels. He shared about Rotary International's commitment to declare a polio-free world by 2026 and the formation of Rotary Peace Centers across the globe. Since the program began in 2002, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,400 fellows who now work in more than 115 countries. ![]()

Our members and guests were inspired by Larry's passion and commitment to the Rotary ideal of Service Above Self!
Thank you to Brandon Thomsen, Quincy Community Theatre for bringing Belle & Mrs. Potts for a wonderful sneak-peek (or should we say sneak-listen) of Disney's Beauty and the Beast during our meeting last Tuesday.
