For 11 years, Linda Tyler has been a proud member of the Rotary E‑Club of Central Texas, carrying Rotary’s spirit of service with her wherever she lives. In Tucson, Arizona, Linda volunteers with the Neighbor to Neighbor Program at the Voyager RV Resort—a community-based support network modeled on the Neighbors Care Alliance.
Neighbor to Neighbor helps older adults in the 55+ community remain connected and independent by offering transportation, friendly visits, light home assistance, errands, and respite for caregivers. Linda serves primarily in transportation, ensuring neighbors get safely to medical appointments, therapy sessions, and essential errands. Recently, she shared that in one week alone she drove four out of five days, covering more than 125 miles. “This is my Rotary volunteer service,” she said.
Supported by the Pima Council on Aging, the program provides training, resources, and a strong network that allows volunteers to make a meaningful impact. By connecting neighbors with neighbors, the program reduces isolation and strengthens the safety net for older adults.
Linda’s commitment is a shining example of Rotary service in action—quiet, consistent, and deeply rooted in community care.
