Honoring our First Responders

Brookhaven Rotary is honored to have Chief Gary Yandura of the Brookhaven Police Department as a member of our Club. We reached out to him to offer him and invitation to bring a guest, a member of his team, to our weekly meetings to say "thank you" and offer a great meal in appreciation for their service. We receive 2-3 guests monthly for this project and it's been fun getting to know the various members of the police department during our weekly meetings.

We also partnered with Brookhaven Police Department to sponsor 12 baseball cards for 12 members of the department to pass out for community development and relationship building. The Rotary logo was on the back of each card and raised awareness about our Club. The officers use the cards in schools and kids like to collect them. The funding was cut for these and Chief Yandura thought it would be a great project for Rotary.
