Club Member Joe Lott will be missed, but his legacy continues
We are mourning the loss of Club member and longtime Rotarian Joe Lott.  Joe held multiple Club leadership positions, was a generous sponsor of our educational scholarships, and was a helpful colleague and friend. Joe will be missed, but his legacy of generosity continues. Several friends and colleagues of Joe's have made donations in his honor to the Arlington Rotary Educational Foundation  These donations will go to a cause Joe cared deeply about - educational opportunity for Arlington students with financial need.   (Photo: Joe, right, receives Paul Harris award in 2025 for his generous giving to Rotary causes).
A celebration of Joe's life will be held on Saturday March 14 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the Murphy Funeral Home, 4510 Wilson Boulevard. Details:  https://tinyurl.com/mwk3cnua
