Giving, serving guide Pell City Rotary Club

Two years of a pandemic certainly changed the way Pell City Rotarians have operated, but their actions have never wavered from their guiding principle, “Service Above Self.”

As daily routines return more and more to normalcy, Rotarians have emerged with renewed vigor – a new determination – to do even more for their community. A synergy is taking hold as a new generation of leaders are stepping up to build on the legacy of making its community a better place.

“I joined Rotary when I attended Smiths Station High School after learning about what Rotary did for our community,” said Casey Cambron, one of Pell City Rotary’s newer members. “We stayed active in our town, visiting veterans’ homes for Christmas, area cleanups and other various community volunteer activities. As an adult, I still believe in volunteering in our community and found that Rotary was active in my area, and I wanted to give back to my community.”

And give back, he has. In addition to volunteering for a number of causes around the city, he has been involved in Rotary’s Father Daughter Dance. “I have helped with the Father Daughter Dance and seen many young girls spending time with their fathers. Seeing them dance together, spending quality time is an amazing experience.”

The Greater Rotary Club of Pell City recently began an extended campaign to show support to those on the front lines of service to the community.

Once a month, the club will buy and deliver box lunches to first responders on shift at local law enforcement agencies and the Pell City Fire Department. The first meals were delivered to the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department in March, and meals were delivered last week to the Pell City Police Department.

The club will serve meals to Fire Department personnel in May, and will continue providing the meals on rotation for months to come.

“In their mission of service, the Rotary Club wants to recognize these men and women for all that they do, and for risking their lives every day to make our city and community a better and safer place to live,” said Serge Brazzolotto, vice president of the Rotary Club.
