Leading Salem Rotary into Our New Year of Service
I am filled with excitement and hope for the new Rotary year. I look forward to serving as your President during the 2025-26 fiscal year.
First, I wish everyone a safe and fun holiday weekend – the 4th of July 2025 is our nation’s 149th birthday. I hope you all find time to celebrate this occasion with family and friends in safe ways.
Rotary International’s core values are Service, Fellowship, Diversity, Integrity, and Leadership.
When our club’s program committee plans weekly programs they identify them in one of eight categories: Business/Economics, Rotary/Fellowship, Education/Sports/Students, Arts/Culture, History/Current Events, Science, Human Interest and Government.
The Program Committee attempts to align program topics with the monthly themes established by Rotary International.
Sometimes speaker topics and availability coincide nicely with the monthly themes.
Sometimes the speaker availability takes precedence over the monthly theme.
The monthly theme for July 2025 is Maternal and Child Health. Our program presenter this week will be our own club member, Tim Murphy, representing Bridgeway Community Health. Tim will share information about his recent retirement as the leader of this organization, introduce the new leader, and provide details about the large construction project currently in progress with respect to their building in northeast Salem.
I look forward to working with each of you to continue the Rotary Club of Salem GOOD WORKS in the Salem community throughout the 2025-26 Rotary year. Together we make a difference. See you Wednesday, July 2 at Broadway Commons – Cedar Hall.
President Doug Parham
Rotary Club of Salem
2025-2026
