 President's Message

 

Richard Rutledge

I am honored and humbled to be one of the presidents of one of the greatest organizations on Earth, Rotary!! Rotary is a way to give back through service, and of course, our motto is "Service Above Self!!" I have also grown to appreciate the fellowship that Rotary provides. I have the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life and I feel like this helps me continue to grow as an individual. One of my favorite quotes is, "Service is the rent we pay for our space on Earth" and I added "Is your rent past due?" If your rent is past due, find a Rotary club and get involved. You will be rewarded in many ways from giving to this great organization.
 
As I take over as President, I see many challenges and opportunities we face as a club. The Covid withdrawal has hit our club's attendance and now we have to find a way for everyone to roll up their sleeves and get back to doing what we did before this terrible sickness came into our lives. Covid has presented many challenges, but I know as Rotarians, we can overcome them. Imagine the many things we can accomplish when we work together as a vibrant and motivated group. 
 
I look forward to a great year serving with my fellow Rotarians and seeing what differences we can make in the lives of mankind in our community and across the world. I want to personally welcome you back to Rotary and hope to see you soon!!
 
Welcome back!!!! ~Richard
