Rotary Year 09-10
President’s Welcome Letter
As I look at the exciting Rotary year before us, I am pleased to see all the opportunities that are available to our club and our Rotarians to “serve above self”. The RI theme this year is “The Future is in Your Hands”, which is a testament to how much each club can influence the future and the path ahead for Rotary.
RI President John Kenny made it clear in his vision that each and every club must step up and help make Rotary stronger. He also acknowledged the great foundation before us to build our successes upon.
Another aspect of the theme is the focus on the future, which allows us to think more about how our club has the opportunity to involve young professionals and bring along the next generation of Rotarians, through activities, such as Rotoract.
Lastly, Rotary International’s Strategic Plan clearly lays out the goals of the organization for this RY and is designed to strengthen and proclaim the core values of Rotary: service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership.
We will work together this year to make the GHRC successful, not only as a unit, a single club, where it all starts, but also through our efforts to cooperate with and support our district and Rotary International in pursuit of the greater goals as well.
I look forward to getting to know you all better as we work on our different projects for this upcoming Rotary year. Let’s take the great work that has been done over the last several years and continue to raise the bar. Best of luck for Rotary Year 09-10!!
