President's Message - July 10, 2017

This year's Rotary International theme is "Rotary: Making a Difference." In announcing the theme, RI President Ian Riseley said: "In Rotary, we know that we can do more together than we could ever hope to do alone. It is the principle on which our service is based, and it is true at every level of Rotary." In that spirit, I look forward to our club accomplishing great things together this year.

At last week's breakfast meeting, I shared a summary of the goals included in the recently completed Strategic Plan. As promised, here are the links to last week's presentation, the Strategic Plan for 2017-2018 and the Three-Year Strategic Plan for 2017-2020.

Thanks to so many of you for the feedback and suggestions I received after the meeting. Most of all, I thank you for your expressions of support and willingness to MAKING A DIFFERENCE in our local community and around the globe.

Yours in Rotary,

Burt

President's first official meeting

Burt opened his first meeting of his one year presidency with a club assembly. He laid out his goals, expectations and strategies for the coming year. Burt beefed up committees with co-chairs, added his "making a difference day" which we will be hearing more about in the near future and he has made membership retention along with growing our membership a priority. Burt will be setting up a link so that every member will have access to see his presentation and ask questions. In his presentation Burt provided his e-mail address and phone number so please access the link if you have any questions for Burt. We look forward to an exciting Rotary year with Burt as our President.
