As we start 2024, we are celebrating our Club’s 100th anniversary throughout the year. Thank you to everyone that participates in the planning and preparations of various activities to celebrate the impact that our Club has had over its history. Not every club achieves this distinction of one hundred years. John Newton has provided the first Club’s meeting record. I have attached the copy of minutes for your review.

 

Rotary has continued to be about “Service Above Self” and our membership past and present can take immense pride on the impact that we have had in our community. As we look at the weeks and months ahead, we are participating in the district’s speech contest, we have established a “Service Above Self” scholarship, and we are starting our goal to reach one hundred Random Acts of Kindness. We are preparing for the 30th Rotary Home and Recreation Expo where all of you will be needed to make it a true success. We want to have a stronger presence of Rotary at this event. We are starting to plan for our participation in the Maple Festival parade in April.

 

I am extremely excited about the year, and I look forward to our time together. It is my hope that you expect remarkable things for our club and from ourselves. Membership Matters, Get Involved, Be Impactful and Have Fun will continue to be the focus of our efforts. Let us have fun as we set out with an ambitious year and continue to be “People of Action.” Please keep up the splendid work you are doing for our Club and Community.
