I am so honored to serve as your 2022-23 President. We have important work ahead of us, and we are going to have a lot of fun as we do it.
As we enter our Club’s 55th year, we are working to increase our impact, expand our reach, enhance member engagement, and increase our ability to adapt. The last couple years within and emerging from the pandemic have shown that we — as Rotarians — can realize our goals as we forge a new path for the future.
Without question, the pandemic posed previously unimaginable challenges for Rotary. But within every challenge is perhaps an even greater opportunity.
Rotary’s International President, Jennifer Jones, announced her 2022-23 Presidential theme, Imagine Rotary, that urged people to dream big and harness their connections and the power of Rotary to turn those dreams into reality. In her words: “Imagine, a world that deserves our best where we get up each day knowing that we can make a difference.”
As we build a stronger future for our organization, it’s good that we are reaching out to new people and introducing them to Rotary. It’s important that our Club reflect the communities we serve. More diverse voices in our Club and in our leadership will help Rotary stay in touch with a changing world. Sharing with that world the Object of Rotary is to:
-Provide an opportunity for group service;
-Foster high ethical standards in business and professions;
-Encourage the application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
-Foster the advancement
In closing, may I again say that I am humbled to serve as your President this year and look forward to working with the Board and every member as we all move forward into a new Rotary year.
