The end of the year and another holiday season is upon us.
Well, in a Rotary Club, it may be the end of a calendar year – but we’ve only reached the halfway point of our Rotary year. Already, we have heaps to give thanks for. What a simply wonderful year we have had so far!
All of this is because of you, our members. Everything that makes our Club so great: volunteerism, dedication, and working toward a common goal.
It is said that the most precious gift you can give is Time. When you give of your time, you give a little of yourself and a part of your life to someone else. Time in the service of others is what defines all Rotarians.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your support through the first half of this Rotary year. Thank you to those who contributed to the Rotary Foundation, as well as those who contributed to Polio Plus, Comfort Cases, MDI Help Portrait, MDI Marathon, Town Hill Playground cleaning, the Backpack Program, Bed Races, Interact, the Holiday Party Auction and of course our biggest fundraiser, The Seafood and Pancake Breakfast Festival.
I look forward to your support in 2020, as we continue to change lives in our community and communities worldwide, and welcome all of you to share in the Rotary Passion, as we continue to be a gift to the world.
The world needs Rotary, now more than ever. Our singular mission is to improve the lives of people and to create a better world. In whatever way you choose to serve Rotary, I sincerely thank you for your ongoing commitment to our community, our Club, and our members.
“Rotary is about finding the passions in our hearts that will lead us to greater community service, build stronger leaders and connecting us as family and friends.” – DG Rick Olson
See you this Wednesday,
President Susy
