Bonham Rotary Club serving for over 100 years
Press Release - The Bonham Rotary Club recently had a change over of club presidents. As Mallory McBroom wrapped up her year as club president and before she handed over the gavel and bell to incoming club president Sandy Barber, she reviewed the club accomplishments and activities over the
past year. “It’s hard to believe an entire Rotary year has come and gone,” said McBroom. “As I stand here today, I’m filled with deep gratitude, a little nostalgia, and a whole lot of pride in what we’ve accomplished together. It’s been an incredible journey — one that I will always treasure.”

McBroom continued: “Serving as president of the Bonham Rotary Club has truly been an honor. I’ve had the joy of working alongside some of the most dedicated, kind-hearted, and serviceminded individuals in our community. You have shown up, rolled up your sleeves, and made a real difference —
Mallory McBroom, right, was honored as a Paul Harris Fellow for her service as Bonham Rotary Club President 2024-2025. On left is Sandy Barber, the incoming Bonham Rotary Club president.

August brought the Fannin County Children’s Center’s school supply drive and the Bonham Rotary Club helped ensure students started the school year with the tools they needed. In September, the club teed off for a cause with the Rotary Golf Tourna-
ment. This tournament funded many of the club’s service projects throughout the year. In October, some club members set up the Rotary Rest Stop at Autumn in Bonham, which was a small but meaningful way to support a big community event. In November, Rotarians participated in Spirit of Giving, spreading generosity just as the holiday season approached. In December, club members donated toys to the Children’s
Center to help brighten the holidays for local kids. In January 2025, it was a time of remembrance as we hosted the 10th annual Dr. Walter Sisk Memorial Blood Drive. In February, Rotarians shared the joy of reading by providing books to the kids at Bailey English. In March, Rotarians supported Feeding Fannin, helping fight hunger right here at home. April was all about smiles — quite literally — as Rotarians volunteered at the TMOM free dental event, including serving on the leadership team. In May, Rotarians prepped care kits for our RYLA kids, helping them head into camp with confidence and encouragement. In June, Rotarians delivered ten fans to the Fannin County Family Crisis Center, which was a simple gesture with a big impact in the Texas heat.
