The Presidents Message

I hope you had an opportunity to be present for our meeting this past Monday. With Larry Gilzean and Susan Sheridan covering the history, the financial health and the impact of our Rotary Club of Sacramento Foundation, AND with Steve Solomon the Zone liaison for The Rotary Foundation, it was truly an informative and inspirational meeting.  

I am aware that we all cognitively know that the money we contribute in fun for our Eddie Mulligan or Paul Harris goes to worthwhile local and international endeavors. But through Steve's words we were able to feel the life-changing impact that Rotary has on the lives of millions.  

When you stand up to celebrate an anniversary or special achievement at work, those dollars provide clean water in Ethiopia, mosquito nets in Indonesia, dictionaries for 3rd graders here in Sacramento, a Shelter Box to be sent wherever there is need....For all those whose lives you touch, I say THANK YOU.

If you did not get a chance to pick-up and read through the Annual Report for our Foundation, I encourage you to do so.  You will be both humbled and filled with pride to be a member of the Rotary Club of Sacramento.

Two last words: One, Bids for Kids.  Get online and bid AND be creative in offering something to donate so someone else can bid on YOUR item.  And two, this coming Monday we welcome Rotary International Director John Blount, one of 15 RI directors, will be with us.  He, also, is an inspiring speaker and you do not want to miss this opportunity.

Invite a friend and I will see you on Monday,

Sincerely,

President Scot
