In a tradition as old as the organization itself, the Rotary Club of Ponte Vedra recently "passed the gavel" from one leadership team to another.

In April 2021, Lesley Vitel and sister Libbi Vitel-Poole cut the ribbon on their business, Painting With a Twist, located at 268 Solana Road, Ponte Vedra Beach. It’s a unique place where people can learn to paint while connecting with friends and sharing a favorite wine. There’s always something interesting going on with special events, private parties and more.

Local residents gathered for a rally Tuesday, Aug. 9, at the Palm Valley Barn for St. Johns County Commissioner Jeremiah Blocker, who is seeking re-election to the District 4 seat.
