Dear Fellow Rotarians and family,
There is so much happiness in the air -
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Lunar New Year!
Happy Year of the Dragon!
Happy President's Day!
Happy 2024 & beyond!
January flew by fast with multiple Crab Feeds and New Year get-togethers. February starts with welcoming the Year of the Dragon, followed by Valentine love and Spring fundraisers in the planning. Rotarians continue in action championing service projects, creating hope in the world, in our communities, and in ourselves. Thank YOU, Rotarians and family!
With the arrival of Spring, it offers the best time to connect and re-engage our fellow Club members - whether it is a Hello chat, a Coffee/Tea time, or a small gathering of Meet & Greet, let us give our Rotary friends a warm Spring fellowship - remember, the best practice in creating hope in our own Club is to reach out, connect, and engage! Plan your Spring reach-out activities in February and take actions from March through May - Let Rotary be known as an organization that takes care of its members!
