President's Address

This year’s Board of Directors has both newer and experienced members, including Linda Bradley a past District Governor. I also have the luxury of having Nabil Oudeh as President Elect who has a proven track record of leadership and is a highly respected member of the club. Committee chairs are also a mix of returning and new individuals, all of whom are committed to the job at hand.

I am particularly excited about the potential of the New Members Committee. This committee will help introduce new members to Rotary and take ownership of new initiatives.

Fundraising will continue to be a club priority. The All That Jazz Golf Tournament, BBQ and Auction requires everyone's support, as does the annual Fly Day event. All That Jazz is held in early September and Fly Day, the first Saturday in October. We also need to coordinate efforts to build new corporate partnerships for our annual Adventures in Citizenship programs.

I am looking forward to expanding the links between our club to our District and Rotary International. There is so much to be gained from sharing experiences and resources. We also need to meet our commitments to the Rotary Foundation and take advantage of its good work through a matching grant or other Foundation program. What about having a record turnout of club members attend this year's District conference?? What about using RI resources for club planning, and updating our bylaws??

I look forward to continued success with our ongoing programs. With our club's legacy of service since 1916, we don't need to change for the sake of change, but we can certainly build and improve upon our core strengths and complement these with new activities.

The job before us is achievable if we continue to work collectively, with common purpose. I look forward to working with each person in this room and trust that I have your confidence. So in summary, I call this Rotary Year to order...and to embrace this year's theme for Rotary International – Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.
