Welcome to the new Rotary Year! As we embark on the 64th year of service, let’s take a moment to reflect on our core values and set our sights on the goals we aspire to achieve. The beginning of a new Rotary year is a time for renewed commitment, fresh ideas, and the collective energy to make a significant impact in our communities and beyond.

As we step into this new Rotary year, I am filled with excitement and optimism for the opportunities that lie ahead. Our theme for this year, “The Magic of Rotary” encapsulates our mission to inspire, empower, and transform lives through our dedicated service and unwavering commitment.

As I take on the mantle of leadership, I am reminded of the Rotary Motto “Service Above Self.” This guiding principle will continue to shape our endeavours and inspire our actions. It makes us look beyond ourselves and to commit to making a meaningful difference.

My vision for the coming year is focused on three main areas: engagement – member involvement, innovation and making a difference.

Engagement – our strength is in our members. It is through our passion and participation we can achieve great things. I encourage all my members to come forth with ideas, bring your skills to the forefront and deepen your involvement with our Club and our projects.

Innovation – the challenges we face today require new and fresh approaches and perspectives. By using technology, fostering new partnerships, thinking creatively we can expand our reach and make a bigger impact.

Making a difference – Our ultimate goal is to make a difference in the lives of people. By serving our local community we hope to make an impact in people’s lives. Changing the lives of just a few people and giving them hope – we have achieved our goals.

Together, we can make this Rotary year one of the most impactful and rewarding yet. Let’s harness our collective strength, passion, and dedication to create lasting change. I am confident that  we will achieve our goals and continue to make a difference in the world.

Thank you.

Yours in Rotary Service
