President’s Message

My Rotarian Family,

It is with deep gratitude and unwavering purpose that I step into this Rotary year as your President. I am honored to serve such a passionate and committed group of individuals who embody the spirit of Service Above Self every day.

Our guiding theme this year, “Purpose. People. Impact.” reflects the core of what we do and who we are. We are driven by purpose, powered by people, and focused on community impact. These words are not just a motto—they are our mission in action and has always been part of who I am.

This year, I am proud to champion a Rotary journey rooted in meaningful community engagement, committed to addressing food insecurities, and dedicated to empowering future generations through sustained youth leadership. These pillars will guide our efforts, shape our programs, and deepen our impact across Knightdale, NC and beyond.

Together, we will lead with purpose, serve with compassion, and create lasting change in the lives of those we touch. I invite each of you to bring your voice, your vision, and your service to this incredible journey. Your presence and participation will be the heart of our success. I look forward to working alongside of you.

Let us inspire, uplift, and succeed together.

Yours in Rotary Service,
Maxine Pearl Phillips, President 2025/26
Rotary Club of Knightdale
