About the Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club
The Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club was founded in 1929. For 94 years the Club has been making our community a better and safer place to live, work, go to school and raise a family. Through our Flags For Heroes, and other fundraising programs and events, the Club has donated many hundreds of thousands of dollars to local charitable organizations over the years. In 2022 alone our club donated nearly $90,000 to these organizations or sponsored these scholarships and other events. Please help us continue this work with your Hero recognition for Veterans Day and flag sponsorship. Your Hero can be from any walk of life or relationship to you. Veterans, Active military, Family members. Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Fireman, Police, EMTs … anyone who is a hero in your eyes.

This year's commemorative medallion
The Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club is very proud to feature Beebe Healthcare President and CEO — and military veteran — Dr. David Tam, on this year’s Flags For Heroes medallion.
During his 24 years of active service in the US Navy, Dr. Tam served as CEO of the Western Region of Tri-Care and Deputy Commander, CEO and Strategy Officer at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego.
Last year, Dr. Tam was named Delaware Business Times Large Nonprofit CEO of the Year, cited for his dedication to overcoming society’s myriad detriments to healthcare, such as poverty, veteran’s issues, and rural isolation.
In just three years, under Dr. Tam’s leadership, Beebe has added more than 100 physicians, a specialty surgical center and additional healthcare campuses countywide…as his team continues its mission of “Creating the Next Generation of Care for Sussex County".
