President's Message - January 3, 2017

Happy and Healthy 2017 to all Rotarians and friends of Rotary.  Looking back at 2016, we were able to make a significant difference in many lives.  As we enter the new year, let's continue to find ways to compound that impact in service of humanity.

 

This Thursday we will open up discussion during our club assembly.  Let's use it as a time to review our goals, refocus, and make sure we are on track to make that difference.  Your candid feedback is encouraged.  

 

As it's the first Thursday of the month, we will be collecting food for the needy.  We are also gathering clothes and snacks for the joint Interact meeting on 1/26.  Your participation is much appreciated.  In addition to those two great causes we will be looking to generate up to an additional $2000 for our Outreach food packaging event at Willow Lane Elementary School on 2/2.  We've committed $3000 which will be enough to pack 12,000 meals.  Each meal costs 25 cents. Let's see if we can package 20,000!
