This is my first letter to our members; and I must start with an apology that our efforts to use hybrid technology for our Rotary meetings have been very unsatisfactory. They have been neither fair for all concerned -- for those trying to listen via zoom, those in our meeting room who endure audio distortion, and our presenters -- nor built goodwill and better friendships. We have to do better, and I assure you we are working on it. Everyone from our technology committee has voiced their support in helping us, and we will seek outside expertise as needed.We know that the power of the Rotary model of service leadership, grounded in person-to-person connections, is visible in our inspiring speakers whose connections create a network that spans the globe—bridging cultural, linguistic, generational, and geographic barriers—and sharpens our commitment to building a better world.
Fall is around the corner, and the pace of Rotary planning and activities is accelerating. I encourage you to read each issue of the Moccasin Flower to remain current on the many opportunities where YOU can make a difference. Remember: “You get out of Rotary what you put into it.”
