Dear Friends, Neighbors, & Fellow Rotarians:

We launched Dayton Summerfest as a fun way to give back to our community while raising awareness of our Club. All proceeds from the event benefited the Rotary Club of Dayton Foundation, the philanthropic arm of our club. Over these last two years, we entertained thousands of our neighbors and raised over $10,000 for the Foundation. It was a lot of fun – and a lot of work.

Brought to you by Rotarians who volunteered significant time to plan, Dayton Summerfest has been a labor of love. From recruiting bands and volunteers to soliciting sponsors and vendors, planning Dayton Summerfest is a year-round endeavor. Unfortunately, this year didn’t go as planned. As a result, the Dayton Summerfest Committee made the difficult decision to cancel the event.

Dayton Summerfest has been a fun and exhilarating way to thank our friends and neighbors for making Dayton the vibrant, collaborative, and welcoming city it is. It helped shine a light on our Club and our impact in the community. And it brought Rotarians together with our neighbors to celebrate our incredible community.

Dayton Summerfest may be gone, but our commitment to the community is only growing. Stay tuned for the next exciting initiative to celebrate our City, join in community with our neighbors, and raise awareness of our efforts to make Dayton the best it can be.

Thank you to all those who made Dayton Summerfest a success the past two years – the volunteers, the sponsors, the vendors, the bands, and the attendees. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Sincerely,

Kim Bramlage
Dayton Summerfest Chair
