Good evening Rotary Members and Friends,
As we head into the last week of April, we are reminded just how quickly the Rotary year is coming to an end. It's hard to believe how much we've accomplished together, and there's still so much more ahead before we close out the year.
Over the weekend, several of our members had the opportunity to attend the District Conference, and what a wonderful experience it was. Gatherings like this are a powerful reminder of what it truly means to be a Rotarian. Beyond the service projects and fundraisers, Rotary is about connection—building relationships with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to making our communities and our world a better place. Networking is one of the greatest gifts of membership. Whether you're meeting a fellow Rotarian from across the district or learning from a club halfway around the world, those connections inspire new ideas, friendships, and opportunities to serve in even bigger ways.
I was also honored to be nominated for the 110% Award by our Area 1 Governor, Lori Glascock. The 110% Award recognizes Rotarians who consistently go above and beyond in their service, leadership, and dedication to the values of Rotary. It is a humbling recognition, and one I share with all of you—because everything we accomplish is truly a team effort. Thank you for your continued support and the incredible work you do every single day.
