So many people ask me what Rotary does and it really is quite simple. Rotary creates hope in the world... just as the 2023-24 Rotary International theme outlines. It's about service to others, service for change and service for hope. I am honored to have been chosen as the Rotary Club of Palestine's 2023/24 President and I look forward to a year of learning, team building, service and collaboration with our membership, community, and area organizations.
Working collaboratively will be a key focus this year, helping us to get back to the basics of what Rotary does and to build up our membership with an understanding of how we each individually and collectively can accomplish small things (or big ones) to make changes within our community and around the world.
As an organization founded and built on service to others, we will spend our time this year building out ways to impact our residents in a way that is meaningful and productive. I hope to see many familiar faces return and open the door to meet new people who share a common goal, build a strong fellowship within our club and embrace the talents of our membership for the betterment of the organization.
The Rotary Club of Palestine will turn 110 years old in 2024, and we will continue to build on the legacy that began long ago which in turn will carry it far into the future, because we are a people of service.
Together in Service -
