“Be The Inspiration.”
The Rotary Club of DeBary-Deltona-Orange City is part of a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.  It’s a gathering of public servants committed to “Service Above Self.”  Congratulations to our new President, Bill Wright and President Elect Erika Benfield. I look forward to serving our community by your side.
It was a full house as President Joe Alemany handed off the reins of the Club to incoming President Bill Wright.
