A Message from President Bill

 

 

            On July 8, 2015 a number of Rotarians took the time to battle the traffic to attend the visiting hours for Ken Farley’s father.  I want to thank Keith Jacques, Lucie Kay, Alan Nelson, CJ Dubois-Cote, Brian Dallaire, Jackson Brown, Julie Villemaire, Mark Tuller, Karen Chasse, Peggy Bean and Bernice Wood for going.  I am sure that there were other Rotarians there that I did not see and I thank you as well.   It was nice to see our club support the family of our Past President Ken.

 

            At the risk of taking crap from SAA Jacques, the fact is that our club should be seen as a large family and our members should have each other’s back in times of need.  We should support each other in good times and in not so good times.  We should go out of our ways to do business with each other and to use club members as resources.  Our club includes years of wisdom and expertise and a lot of energy that we should all tap into when necessary.

 

            More importantly, however, we are all friends who should feel comfortable reaching out to one another.  Our doors should always be open to our club members and no one should ever hesitate to ask for help.  There is so much more to Rotary than just community service and networking, but it never hurts to be reminded of the fact that Rotary is also there to help its own.
