Hello Rotarians,

It was wonderful to be back and to see those of you that attended last week's lunch.  As much as I enjoy traveling the world, I do find a certain comfort in coming back home.  It's not so much about the place I call home, but more the people I come back to.  My Canton Rotary family is as much a part of the joy of returning as any other.  Last week was made even more so by the special gift Michelle presented to me, on behalf of the Cherkasy Rotary Club, recognizing our club's international contributions.  It was very special for me to represent such an incredibly generous Canton Rotary Club.

As you know, this is my last week of officially running the Canton Rotary Lunch, as we have no lunch the Friday before July 4th.  I have the honor of overseeing the induction of an incredibly talented group of new leaders, and passing the gavel over to my good friend Rick Taylor.  I'll also be providing you with a short recap on the 21-22 year.

As I have asked before, please plan on attending and to bring with you a fellow Canton Rotarian that we haven't seen in a while.

Yours,

President Mark
