President's Message - November 8, 2016

As Rotarians serving humanity we can be proud that we are a diverse group of individuals. We look past our different personal views, we leave our egos and politics to the side and we aim to sincerely offer lasting help to people who genuinely need it. As you head to the polls today let me offer hope and prayer that we elect leaders that put their egos and personal agendas aside to serve our nation selflessly, and thus truly serve all of humanity.  The United States carries incredible power through its leadership. May we not take it for granted and use that power to continue to foster peace and goodwill throughout the world.

Let us also pause to give thanks for the men and women who have put their lives in jeopardy to protect our dear nation. To our Veterans, we say thank you for standing for our freedom and for protecting the inalienable God given rights that we've been so lucky to have in the United States.  For putting your lives in enemy lines to protect all of mankind, all of our families, and service above yourselves, thank you. Happy Veterans Day!
