Update from President Anne Slack Our new incoming Rotary International President Mário César Martins de Camargo has selected his theme as “Unite for Good” by using the power of human connection to welcome new members, collaborate on service projects, and build our global impact so Rotary members can create positive change. This week those thoughts led me to understand that we are family. I realized this as I passed information to Jack Ford, our incoming President, so he could lead the meeting last Thursday. All the concern and good wishes that came my way about Gordon meant so much to me. There is more to it than the care I was shown. I was thinking about the new Duck Race format and the multiple issues that have come up and been addressed. Hopefully it is a positive change. I was thinking about Ron Gordon and my efforts to create a 100% Paul Harris club and the number of members questioning contributions to our parent organization which works for a positive change with global impact. When I considered all of that, I thought we are just like a family, sometimes we get along, sometimes we disagree but in the grander picture we love and respect each other. We need to remember we are all volunteers doing what we choose to do, want to do, enjoy doing, when we provide service above self and unite for good. Many thanks to all of you for being who you are, contributing your particular talents to our club and being part of The Rotary Club of Estes Park’s family. Until next time, Annie |
