A Note from President Kelsey

Thank you for the warm welcome as the new Club President. It was wonderful to see the room full of friendly faces. I appreciate your support.
 
The Rotary Theme this year is UNITE FOR GOOD. Our Club is the epitome of this message. Year after year, we combine our time, talent, and treasure to magnify the impact that we make. In fact, our Club has awarded nearly 2 million dollars in grants and scholarships over the last 12 years. Think about how many lives we have changed together.
 
Let’s keep the ROTARY VISION front & center as we embark on this new Rotary Year.
 
Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
In Rotary Service,
Julie
