Here we are end of September, already completed three months of our new Rotary year. I am proud to serve as your President for the 19-20 Rotary Year. We have a great club and I look forward to working with our great Board and members in making this the best year yet of “Service Above Self.”
Highway cleanup, chaired by Adrienne Buboltz and Bill Henke, was a huge success once again. A big THANK YOU to the many Rotarians that stepped up to make our section of Highway 10 shine. It was then on to the Bloodscreening, chaired by Adrienne Buboltz. Although our numbers were down some, we need to remember the great community service this project provides. We continue to hear stories of individuals that as a result of this service found health issues sooner rather than later. Thank you to the many members and spouses who helped during the week of the screening.
Welcome to new members, Skye Fingalson, Natalie Bly and Crystal Piekarski. We look forward to their contribution to our club. Our membership is currently at 98 members, meeting our goal for the year, but we need to continue to invite potential new members to our club.
The next few months will be full of many more projects, Wine Pairing, Halloween Safety Tape for the kids, Literacy Project Dictionaries, 4 Way Essay Contest, World Polio Day, Foundation Month and Salvation Army Bell Ringing to name a few. Thank you to those members who have stepped up to chair these events.
The Board has been busy making plans on new fundraising ideas as well as some new social events. Stay tuned to learn more! If you have some ideas, please share them with me or with any board member.
Again, I am honored to serve as President of this great club, but it is the board and membership that make it a great club. Between all the Rotary programs, projects, and events we can continue to make a difference in our community and the world as a whole.
Let’s all be Rotary People of Action and Believe There is Good in the World.
