President’s comments
August is membership month and it is a time to celebrate both who we are and all the accomplishments that Rotary has done around the world and in our own small community. For myself, it is a time to look back and remember why I became a Rotarian. For some, the answer can be very clear and you can remember the exact moment that you made that decision and remember why. For others, it may not have been as clear and your reasons may not have been so altruistic. After all, we are humans and it is natural to want something out of any life endeavor. The bottom line is that what we get back from Rotary is the knowledge that we are making a difference in others’ lives and helping our community to be a better place. I want to thank each of you for being one of those special people who believe that being a Rotarian is important and to commend you for your commitment to our Club and cause. Celebrate and appreciate yourself for making that commitment!
It is a great thing to want to share with others all the good that we do. Without a continued effort to grow our membership, the power of Rotary will go away. Rotary International announced that over 2,000 Rotarians achieved the gold level in the New Member Sponsor Recognition program. This is accomplished when you have sponsored six or more new Rotary members. Those are exceptional efforts on behalf of these members who strengthen Rotary’s membership. Is there someone that you want to share the Rotary experience with? Bring them to a meeting, social, or work party. Let's get others engaged. We are a great group of folks to hang out with and we have fun while doing good things.
