WOW what a year it has been, I cannot believe it went so fast.
My speech a year ago had a paragraph in it that went like this:
The team work that goes into getting things done and how that is shown in this Club is amazing. Other organizations that I have belonged to, I have seen many walk away when their leadership year is done, feeling they have done their share, now it’s up to someone else. Not in this Rotary Club. Our group is full of members that live and breathe Rotary and do not hesitate to give service above self. The longevity of some of our members and especially our Rotary Board that is always willing to step up and help fellow Rotarians is why this club succeeds. Please don’t stop now, I need much help this year. We all will achieve much more than we ever thought with actions and involvement of working together to get things done. I believe we did just that and the support that I received was more than I could even have imagined.
We survived through a Pandemic of Covid 19- through many months of zoom meetings and finally were able to bring our meetings with great fellowship back together to in person meetings.
Though it was a strange and unpredictable year- our group as a team we were able to still accomplish so much.
We have hosted many Red Cross Blood Drives and deliver many meals on wheels.
The Strive Program was a huge success even done via zoom.
We started helping with Food Packing for the Faribault Community Action Council – If you didn’t get to do this, you will definitely want to take your turn with upcoming events. What a great night of fun with Rotarians and sometimes some of their families.
We had great success with our cash raffle and rose sales- Knocked it out of the park I would say even again though times were strange. That’s only because so many took the initiative to make it happen.
Clean up at Crockers Creek- a lot of work, yet a lot of fun to get together with others and make it happen for the community. It looks amazing.
