From the Prez
Dear Rotarians,
When you see this message, we will be about to have a wonderful presentation by Fary Moini and Steve Brown. Fary is truly a modern-day Mother Theresa, and Steve has been the major influence and Rotarian who gave all the wonderful opportunities to Fary. Tom and I have been working on some more plans and one of the big events is going to be in November. Instead of a regular monthly meeting on Zoom on a Wednesday, we’re going to actually meet the weekend after that in person at my house.
I also want to thank all of you who come up with some great ideas about speakers and things we’re going to focus on in the future. I do think that we will have the opportunity to hear from someone from an organization that has helped to stop human trafficking and find out ways in which we can assist without spending money.
Thank you all for all your support and for the great year we’ve had so far and I’m looking forward to all that is coming in the future. By now, you will all have received information about when you’ll be Rotarian of the day. If you need to change that you can look at the schedule of what month each person has been assigned and feel free to change with anybody or you can contact me and I’ll help you.
