Hello $FIRST_NAME$!,
 
Hope all of my fellow Rotarians had a safe, stress-free holiday and an enjoyable New Year’s!
 
2026 is here and we have the opportunity to make it an exceptional year of personal and Rotary growth. January is Rotary International’s Vocational Service Month. Since Rotary was founded with the idea of leaders from different vocations making a difference let’s all invite people to join us this month.
 
This coming Wednesday, Alan Johnson has arranged for Joe Smith from the Hamilton County Board of Education to share the status of Vocational Education in Hamilton County. It will be good to hear how vocational training has a positive impact on our community.
 
A quick reminder that Warren Graber our community services chair has arranged for book collection January 14th & 21st. Help us make this even more successful than last year by bringing lots of books to trade in at McKay's.
 
Planning ahead, remember that January 14th is Law Enforcement Recognition Day.  We look forward to seeing everyone this coming Wednesday. Have a great week and Be Proud to Be A Rotarian!!  If you can't join us in person, please join us by Zoom at the link below:
