A Message from our President

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Southside Corpus Christi!

It is an honor to serve as President for the 2026–2027 Rotary year. Since our club was chartered in 1955, we have proudly lived Rotary's motto of Service Above Self, bringing together neighbors, business leaders, and community members who are committed to making a positive difference.

This year, I look forward to building on our club's strong foundation by creating opportunities for fellowship, service, leadership, and learning. Through engaging speakers, hands-on service projects, and our weekly Southside Spotlight, we will celebrate our traditions while inspiring one another to create lasting impact.

Whether you're a longtime Rotarian, considering membership, or visiting for the first time, I invite you to join us for a meeting. We would love the opportunity to welcome you and share what makes our club so special.

I look forward to meeting you.

Yours in Rotary,

Marjorie N. Boudreaux
