In 1935, Rotary Founder Paul Harris once wrote, “This is a changing world; we must be prepared to change with it. The story of Rotary will have to be written again and again.”
Here we are 86 years later. And boy, Paul Harris was right! Welcome to the new chapter of our Rotary story!

CLUB FINANCIALS: THE INS & OUTS
Treasurer Jean gave a presentation of the details on the 2021-22 Budget. There were so many unusual things in the 2020-21 year of the Pandemic, a major effort has been made to minimize any confusion. A review of the 2020-21 year provided a solid perspective on how the reality of the Pandemic impacted all of our plans for revenue generation and expense control. Focus on major highlights for the coming year combined with a conservative approach will allow us to make a strong comeback in achieving our goals for the Post-Pandemic period. As the data is finalized it will become available to our membership through access to Club Documentation via the website.

From DG Bob Hobaugh
Please help District 7430 meet a ShelterBox Challenge by September 10, 2021. We hope that each of our 46 Clubs contributes to ShelterBox in 2021 and we ask you to include an amount in your Club budget for the 2021-2022 Rotary Year. We challenge each Club to meet or exceed its prior ShelterBox giving and to give something: $35 will provide a solar light and $100 will buy a tool kit to help rebuild a family’s home. From that budgeted amount, please make a donation at or before our “Stock the Box” celebration on September 10th. See the attached announcement for more information. ShelterBox recognized our District as the best contributing District in the United States in 2019 and as a “Top 20 District” in 2020. Thank you.
Editor's Note: MSR has donated at least $1,000/year since 2013.
The new Rotary Theme for 2021-22 is SERVE TO CHANGE LIVES
The biggest gift we are given is the power to touch a life,
To change, to make a difference in the circle of life.
If we can reach out with our hand, heart, and soul,
The Magic will start to happen as the wheel begins to roll.
Let's turn the wheel together so all humanity thrives.
We have the power and the magic to Serve to Change Lives.
