Greetings Rotarians!
This will be my last column as President of our wonderful club. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to serve as President. A year ago, many people said that serving as President draws you closer to your club and to Rotary International. They were certainly correct! I have come to see the important work of our Club both right here in Missoula as well as around the world. During this past year, I feel as though we implemented the motto, “Service Above Self” to a tremendous extent for a modestly sized club. Looking at the list of organizations in Missoula, as well as our contributions to Ukraine, Turkey/Syria, and Guatemala, we can hold our heads high in terms of what we have done. This year, our Wednesday meetings have been especially interesting with programming, music, and fun.
 
I want to give my best wishes to Rick Oncken as he assumes the Presidency. My message to Rick is that you have such wonderful and unselfish people who want to work hard and to help you succeed. I had tremendous help ad guidance from my predecessors and you will, too.
 
Thanks, everyone, for your support and enthusiasm this past year. What a terrific Club!

 

Thank You,  

 Royce Engstrom, Club President 2022-2023
