Presidents Message
May 8, 2022
It is so hard to believe a year ago Gordon and I were running up and down the back stairs at HOA 1, trying to get a Wi-fi signal strong enough to have our first hybrid meeting.
Our club has grown and changed so much in the past year; I could not be prouder. We moved to The Ranch, outgrown the board room, and now are busting at the seams in the private dining room.
Our membership has grown from 42 members at the first of the Rotary year by 40%, bringing our current membership to 58 members. And so many of our new members bring decades of Rotary service to our club. It is now wonder our club has been able to accomplish so much for our communities.
I so look forward seeing what we can accomplish……thank you all for the dedication you continue to give our club.
