It is always good to be with you whether in person or on-line and this week was no exception. Our meeting crowd was a little smaller but as Rotarians we always have a fun time no matter what the crowd size.
Special thanks to last week’s speaker, Tom Kerfoot, Assistant Governor for Area 13 in District 5650. Tom provided a great update on what is happening at the District Level. He specifically touched on Rotary’s Strategic priorities which include:
Increasing our impact
Expanding our reach
Enhancing participant engagement
Increasing our ability to adapt
Rotary continues to evolve to ensure we are meeting the needs in our local, national and world communities and these priorities will help us to continue to live out our mission.
Tom also provided some nice lapel pins for our membership. If you did not receive a pin and would like one, please feel free to pick up at our next meeting. Tom’s presentation, which provides a lot of good information, can be found here.
Thanks for all you do for Rotary. See you next Wednesday!
