Good morning,
 
As President of our Rotary Club, it’s an honor to be part of today’s event. Our annual Lucky Duck raffle has swiftly become a beloved tradition, and today is no exception. We’re here to cheer on our lucky winners and celebrate the powerful impact we can make together. Your presence here not only adds to the excitement but also supports vital local projects that benefit our community in countless ways.
 
Today’s event is particularly special as it marks a major milestone for our club—we’re celebrating our 100th anniversary! That’s a century of service, fellowship, and positive change both locally and globally. This morning’s gathering is the perfect kickoff to our centennial celebrations, embodying the spirit of unity and dedication that has been the hallmark of our journey.
Over the past 100 years, our Rotary Club has been a source of inspiration and support in our community. From investing in our youth, to investing in community projects, outdoor activities to fostering community development and promoting peace, our collective efforts have made a significant impact. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support and involvement of individuals like you.
 
As we enjoy today’s festivities, let’s take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and look forward with excitement to what’s ahead. After our Lucky Duck drawings, we’ll continue our celebration with a special centennial event. It’s a time to honor our past, celebrate our present, and envision an even brighter future.
 
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our volunteers, sponsors, and participants. Your support and enthusiasm are the driving forces behind the success of events like this and are a testament to the strength of our community. We also extend a warm welcome to those joining us for the first time. We’re thrilled to have you here and invite you to learn more about our Rotary Club and how you can get involved.
 
Thank you for making today’s Lucky Duck Event a success and for contributing to what promises to be a memorable 100th anniversary celebration. Let’s make today a day to remember!
