Home of the Hopkinsville Rotary Auction!
Thank you to the United Way of the Pennyrile for a fun campaign update yesterday! We always look forward to this joint meeting with Kiwanis of Hopkinsville!
Last Rotary Tuesday we learned all about the good works of Challenge House. Michelle Wilson, Executive Director gave us an overview of Challenge Houses in Hopkinsville and then Gina and Mike Condella, Challenge House Ambassadors, educated us on the good deeds and programs at Challenge House #4 on North Elm Street. ![]()

The purpose of a Challenge House is building relationships in order to rebuild neighborhoods! They focus on needs of the immediate community location and create faith based programs to meet those needs. ![]()

Challenge House #4, focusing mostly on youth, offers after school tutoring and feeding programs to address food insecurities. They handed out over 44,000 snacks just last year. ![]()

The CCSO is also involved in community events such as the Citizen’s Academy, Touch-A-Truck, Chili Cook-Off and more! We are thankful for all the Christian County Sheriff's Office does for Hopkinsville and Christian County.

The Rotary Impact Scholarship has given me the opportunities and resources necessary to make my dreams come true. This award will allow me to return to my community and give back to each individual who helped me get to this point, but more importantly the future generation of students I will have the privilege of educating and creating impactful relationships with. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have been chosen and I look forward to my time serving in CCPS classrooms. ![]()

Hi! My name is Brooke Arvin and I am a Rotary Impact Rising Star. I am so excited to be a part of this amazing program. This scholarship gives me the opportunity to become a teacher which has always been an aspiration of mine since I was little. I cannot wait to teach the young minds of our county and pour into them as my teachers have poured into me over the years. This program has supported me and inspired me throughout this process.

We were joined by Barry Payne and others involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at #RotaryTuesday! FCA’s vision is to see the world transformed by Jesus Christ though the influence of coaches and athletes with their mission being to lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.![]()

Barry expressed that him and his wife, Jettie, have felt led to grow the FCA presence locally by becoming area representatives. Through the month of September, they are raising support for the 2024-2025 budget and are in need of monthly partners. If you are an athlete, former athlete, have a child or grandchild in sports, or just feel called to help spread the Gospel through sports ministry, they would love to have you on board!

My name is Jordan Poindexter, and I am a current junior at Murray State University, where I study elementary education. I recently received my associate's degree from Hopkinsville Community College, which equipped me with the skills to continue my education at Murray State University. I have been blessed to receive so many opportunities to further my education here in my hometown, near the ones who constantly encourage me to continue on this journey.![]()

Being a Rotary Impact Scholar is more than a title to me. It's the opportunity to succeed and grow in doing the things I am passionate about. Being a teacher has always been a dream and goal of mine, and now, with the help and support from the Rotary Impact Scholarship and CCPS, I am one step closer to my goal!![]()

At Tuesday’s Rotary meeting, we had the pleasure of hosting head football coaches, Dustin Lopez from Hopkinsville High School and Ethan Atchley from Christian County High School. Both coaches offered wonderful insights into their recent rivalry matchup and the challenges both teams faced and will continue to face throughout the remainder of the season. They also discussed the development of their programs, emphasizing the vital role of community support. ![]()

Lopez and Atchley both shared details about their rosters and expressed their enthusiasm for the future of football in Christian County! Let’s cheer on our teams as they continue to shine on and off the field! 🏈
