Rotary 2020 Vision Conference
 
Author and scriptwriter, Rick Antonson, former President & CEO of Tourism Vancouver, was thinking big and long term when his organization launched the successful bid to bring the 2010 Winter Olympic Games to Vancouver and Whistler. Rick will be one of our speakers at the District's 2020 Vision Conference, April 24-26, 2020 in Vancouver. Our focus for the conference is on "vision" and he certainly personifies that.

President's Message

Sara Mitchell-Banks

member photo
The essence of Rotary is a connection. Through our clubs, Rotary connects us to other leaders in the community.  Rotary connects us professionally. Rotary connects us to a global community committed to service. So our theme for 2019 /2020 is Rotary Connects the World.  
My job as president is to inspire everyone around me to achieve the most that they can.  This is not about my year, this is about our year.
I would like us to bring down the average age in our club by about 20 years. I would like to see more people bring their kids and grand-kids to meetings and social functions. Rotary is a family, for the family. I would like to see each and every one of you have a “pet project” that you can be proud of and head up. If you need to change your current pet project then just let us know. Change is good and is necessary to keep us motivated. We have a club full of experienced people who are willing to help support you and help you succeed.
What do “you” want to achieve this year?
Thank you again and let’s continue to connect with other Rotarians locally, in our district and globally because Rotary Connects the World.
