Hello Fellow Rotarians,

 Happy New Year! As we begin a new year together, we wish you and your loved ones health, happiness, and fulfillment in the months ahead. Thank you for the dedication, generosity, and fellowship you continue to bring to our club and to the communities we serve.

 
 
January’s Rotary theme is Vocational Service. Vocational Service reminds us to use our skills, talents, and professional experience to make a positive difference—by upholding high ethical standards, mentoring others, and applying our expertise in service to our communities and beyond. Each Rotarian’s vocation is a powerful tool for service, and together we can inspire leadership, integrity, and purpose in the work we do every day.
 
  • January 16 & 23 - As detailed to members by email yesterday, we are having crucial fundraising brainstorming sessions.  Its important for us to have as many members' voices around the table and that we are all willing to step up to find and implement new and creative fundraisers.
