Dear Rotarians,
 
The holiday season is upon us and there is almost magic in the air: the holiday activities, the festive treats and the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends.  It is a time for reflection and a reminder of our many blessings: shelter, food, clean water, health care, education and the privilege of living in Canada.  The very things we take for granted that are the hopes and dreams for many of our friends and neighbours across the globe.
 
As Tony and I have travelled around the district we have been continually reminded of the dedication and generosity of our District 7010 Rotarians and the impact of your work.  Your work for Rotary is a gift that influences communities at home and around the world, and the lives of people many of whom you will never meet.  Thank you!
 
As we celebrate this time of year with our individual traditions and beliefs, I hope you have the time to relax and celebrate with family and friends and embrace the spirit of the season. 
 
From our family to yours, best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season and a wonderful 2019, and a heartfelt thank you for all you do.
 
Yours in Rotary,
 
DG Susan and Tony Davidson
