Greetings Santa Clara Rotarians & Happy Rotary New Year
 
The Club has ended Lou Ann’s year on a very high note with an
extremely successful 3rd Annual Silicon Valley BBQ Competition. The
Rotary International theme for last year was “Engage Rotary, Change Lives”
which, as a club, we accomplished though all of our local community projects and
the international efforts where we were engaged.  Without doubt if you were to pick a label for
our Club last year if would be the “Year of the Woman".
 
This year’s theme is “Light Up Rotary” and our club is in a
great position to do just that. Look around Santa Clara, it is booming which
means there are greater opportunities for our club to increase membership with
quality leaders and doers and expand our fund raising efforts resulting in a
bigger impact on our community and abroad. And, have fun by enjoying our
fellowship along the way, keeping the meetings fun & informative, the
bantering flowing, and the wisecracks at their best.
 
So Happy New Year Rotary Club of Santa Clara, I am proud, nervous,
and happy to represent this great club for the next year.  So I ask, what label will we have at the end
of the year?
 
Sincerely,
Steve Rainbolt
President, Rotary Club of Santa Clara
