Welcome to the Rotary Club of Lake Nona

The Rotary Club of Lake Nona is a community of established professionals who are passionate about making positive change—both locally and around the world. Our members are leaders, business owners, and changemakers who believe in using their time, talents, and resources to serve others.

 
Becoming a Rotarian connects you to a diverse group of people who share your drive to give back, build meaningful relationships, and create lasting impact. Through service projects, professional collaboration, and global Rotary initiatives, we strengthen our community while contributing to a worldwide network committed to Service Above Self.
Together, we turn purpose into action.

Volunteer With Purpose

Rotary is a global organization that impacts the lives of over 500 million people every year through service, leadership, and community action. At the Rotary Club of Lake Nona, volunteering is at the heart of everything we do.

Members and their families have opportunities to serve locally and globally through hands-on projects alongside fellow Rotarians, students, and community volunteers. From food insecurity and youth programs to healthcare and humanitarian efforts, our service creates real, lasting impact.

Service Above Self isn’t just a motto—it’s how we live.

 

Business With Integrity & Impact

We are not a leads club—we are a Business Networking Club.

Our goal is to help members promote, support, and grow their businesses through meaningful relationships and community visibility. Business members are featured in our Rotary Business Directory, which is shared across social media platforms and emailed to a broad network of potential customers and community partners.

To preserve value and exclusivity, only two members per vocational classification are listed in our directory. This ensures members stand out while building trust-driven business connections rooted in Rotary values.

 

Connect Socially. Grow Professionally.

Community is built beyond meetings.

Join us for our social activities, where members, volunteers, and guests come together to relax, network, and build authentic relationships. These social-business gatherings create space for connection, collaboration, and fun—strengthening both friendships and professional ties within our Rotary family.

 
Together, we serve, connect, and lead—locally and globally.

Rotary Club of Lake Nona Hosts Unforgettable Evening Honoring Local Veterans

Rotary Club of Lake Nona Hosts Unforgettable Evening Honoring Local Veterans

 

The Rotary Club of Lake Nona, in partnership with the Veterans Administration and the Orlando Magic, recently organized an extraordinary evening dedicated to honoring some of our nation’s most remarkable heroes—local veterans. This special event, designed to celebrate their service and sacrifices, exemplified the Rotary Club’s guiding principle: Service Above Self.

A heartfelt and huge thank you goes to Rotarian Ann Margaret Howard, whose vision, dedication, and tireless effort were instrumental in making this night a reality. From coordinating with partners to ensuring every detail was thoughtfully planned, Ann Margaret’s leadership was the driving force behind this memorable evening. Her passion and commitment to our veterans are deeply appreciated by all who attended and participated.

The night began with an exciting Orlando Magic game, offering veterans a chance to enjoy top-tier basketball. However, the true highlight came afterward, when the veterans were invited onto the court to cut down the net—a time-honored basketball tradition symbolizing triumph and celebration. Witnessing their joy and pride was an emotional and inspiring moment for everyone involved.

“The look on their faces said it all,” one Rotarian shared. “It was a moment of pure joy and appreciation for their service, and it reminded us why we do what we do.”

This special evening was a testament to the power of community collaboration. By working with the Veterans Administration, the Orlando Magic, and dedicated Rotarians like Ann Margaret, the Rotary Club of Lake Nona created an experience that not only brought joy but also demonstrated gratitude for the sacrifices made by these heroes.

“We couldn’t have done it without Ann Margaret’s leadership,” said a fellow Rotarian. “Her commitment to serving others is inspiring, and this event was a shining example of her dedication.”

The Rotary Club of Lake Nona remains committed to creating meaningful experiences that uplift and celebrate members of our community. For those veterans who participated, this was more than just a night of basketball—it was a celebration of their resilience and contributions.

Rotary at the Start of the United Nations

Rotary and the United Nations have a shared history of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.

During World War II, Rotary informed and educated members about the formation of the United Nations and the importance of planning for peace. Materials such as the booklet “From Here On!” and articles in The Rotarian helped members understand the UN before it was formally established and follow its work after its charter. 

Many countries were fighting the war when the term “United Nations” was first used officially in the 1942 “Declaration by United Nations.” The 26 nations that signed it pledged to uphold the ideals expressed by the United States and the United Kingdom the previous year of the common principles “on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world.”

💙💛 Celebrating Women in Leadership — and a Powerful Moment for Rotary! 💛💙

Congratulations to President Kristina Dhountal and Past President and Past District Governor Sonya Labasco on your recent certification and continued commitment to Rotary leadership! 🎉

Your dedication represents more than personal achievement — it reflects the strength, vision, and impact of women leading at the highest levels of Rotary. Because of leaders like you, our clubs are growing stronger, our communities are better served, and the future of Rotary is brighter than ever.

There was a time in Rotary’s history when women were not yet part of this organization. Today, women are presidents, district governors, global leaders, and changemakers — shaping the direction of Rotary and expanding its impact around the world. That progress exists because of courageous, committed leaders who stepped forward and led with purpose.

Kristina and Sonya, your leadership inspires the next generation of women to rise, serve, and lead. You embody Service Above Self and demonstrate what is possible when passion meets purpose.

The energy, vision, and momentum you bring are helping shape the future of Rotary — and we are proud to celebrate you both. 🌟

Today we proudly celebrate 121 years of Rotary International — and the global impact of a movement that continues to change lives every single day.

From its beginning in Chicago in 1905 to communities across the world, Rotary has grown into one of the largest service organizations on the planet — with 1.4 million members united by one purpose: Service Above Self.

Here’s what Rotary is known for around the world:

• Leading the global effort to eradicate polio — reducing cases by more than 99% and helping immunize billions of children
• Promoting peace through Rotary Peace Fellowships and conflict resolution programs
• Expanding access to clean water and sanitation in underserved communities
• Supporting maternal and child health initiatives
• Funding basic education and literacy programs
• Growing local economies through community development projects
• Responding to disasters and humanitarian crises worldwide

And right here in Lake Nona, we are part of that same mission — serving locally while connected globally.

For 121 years, Rotarians have shown that when leaders come together with heart, strategy, and action, real change happens.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can make an impact beyond yourself — this is it.

Happy 121st Birthday, Rotary International.
Here’s to the next century of service, leadership, and lasting impact.
