President's Message

As 2018 closes we reflect upon our successes and things we want to improve upon. 2019 is here and we think about our goals and all the wonderful things the new year has to offer. As Rotarians our year begins in July. I reflect on the past few months, I see so many successes. Cleaning the creek, Feeding America, Hand 2 Hand (a few less hungry children), bell ringing, and coming soon helping children with reading.
 
It is wonderful to see our committees working together (just look at our new pamphlets). So with that said, how can we improve? Can we grow our club? Build better friendships? Find more ways to serve and increase fundraising?  I know whatever is to come this year will be great. I know this because each one of you inspire me and I feel so blessed to call you my friends.
