Service Project - Thank you cards to C&C Street Festival participants, sponsors and vendors
The Forks Cafeteria

Our Rotary meeting will become a hands-on service project as we take time to thank the many people who helped make Cars & Carnivores a success. Members will write personal thank-you letters to our sponsors, car owners, vendors, cooks, and others who generously gave their time, resources, and support to this year’s event. C&C would not be possible without this incredible community of supporters, and this is our opportunity to let them know how much their partnership means to our club and, most importantly, to the cause we serve. Join us Monday night as we put pen to paper and show our appreciation!

Weekly meeting
Club Assembly
The Forks Cafeteria

Giving every member an opportunity to get involved in shaping the work of the Rotary Club of Wake Forest. Rather than a traditional speaker program, the evening will focus on our committees and the projects, programs, and priorities ahead. Members will have a chance to connect with committee leaders, hear what’s being planned, share ideas, and find meaningful ways to participate in areas such as Service, Membership, Youth, International, and club activities. Club Assembly is where ideas turn into action, so come ready to participate, collaborate, and help us continue Creating Lasting Impact in Wake Forest and beyond.

Remembering Bob McCamy

Bob joined this club on February 1, 1966 and gave it 60 years: twice its president, its treasurer for a decade, and a mentor to generations of Rotarians who learned Service Above Self by watching him do it quietly.

In 2026 a unanimous selection committee awarded him the Vivian A. Jones Peace Prize, one of Wake Forest's highest civic honors. He passed away on July 31, 2026.

“Joining the Wake Forest Rotary Club was one of the most formative decisions of my adulthood! I joined when I was 24, having moved to a new town and looking for a community. The people I met have become family.”

“I volunteered to help with the annual Cars and Carnivores charity event that raises money to pay off local residents cancer treatment debt. It was so much fun and the people were so friendly and welcoming, that I decided to join the club.”
