Greetings Fellow Rotarians and Happy Independence Day!
I'm honored to serve as your President for the 2018-19 year, and along with the talented team of Officers & Directors who comprise your Leadership Team, I'm excited for the Rotary Club of Montecito.
With the annual tradition of leadership change having just taken effect July 1st, the new Officers, Directors and Chairpersons represent another cadre of Club leaders, filled with ideas and optimism. I hope that we are able to live up to expectations as we follow in the footsteps of leaders who've served before us!
Rotary's International Theme for this year is "Be The Inspiration". This is not just a call to action for leaders, but for every Rotarian. Over the next twelve months I hope we can each "inspire" others to reach out and serve, to take action, to be more welcoming and inclusive, and to improve communities in our own backyard and around the globe.
I hope you enjoy the resurrection of The AXIS, our Club's e-bulletin. I welcome your input and feedback on this or any other relevant topic at any time.
Please join me at our next luncheon meeting on July 10th. I want to share with you some of the inspirational things I learned at the RI Convention in Toronto, and will unveil some "tweaks" to our weekly meeting format as well as provide you with an overview of the coming year.
I thank you in advance for your encouragement and support. You "inspire" me in so many, many ways. I hope that, over the next twelve months as your President, I am able to return the favor!
Enjoy your holiday celebration(s) and I look forward to seeing you at our first meeting of the year next week.
Yours in Service,
President Todd
