Lynn Gallagher was recently selected Rotarian of the Year by the Rotary Club of Galena.
Lynn has demonstrated "Service Above Self" in taking over the Paul Kindig Student of the Quarter program as well as our annual Trivia Night fundraising event.
Lynn will be our President-Elect for the 2025-2026 year.

Passing the Gavel
Rev. Janet Eggleston, out-going President of the Rotary Club of Galena, was recently recognized for her year of service at the President’s Dinner at the DeSoto House Hotel.
Pictured with Rev. Eggleston is Jim Berberet, Galena, who became Rotary President July 1.
During Janet's reign as president, our club had the most successful Chopper Drop, most profitable Auction, brought back the Youth Exchange program, and sent students to RYLA, moving our club out of our post-pandemic malaise and setting a high bar for future presidents.
Jim Berberet has enthusiastically taken the helm full of ideas to fulfill that challenge, including an upcoming 40th Anniversary party (stay tuned!).
What a Night!
What if we could have a party, invite all of our friends, enjoy beverages and a delicious meal, and sell some unique and unusual gifts? Wouldn't that be a great time? What if you could raise $35,000+ for charitable purposes at the same time?
Well, you just did! Congratulations Galena Rotary Club and especially the Auction Committee for creating a spectacular evening!
