If our average age wasn’t 107 I’d call it recess-but even though “recess” doesn’t fit, you still get the idea. I’m sure whatever problems we’re dealing with every morning will still be waiting for us when we get back to the office after lunch let Rotary be a little break from that stress. I want our meetings to be fun and upbeat I want us to laugh more often. I also plan to highlight Members in the News each week from the podium, to celebrate the active role we play in the community. It may not be ideal, but it’s a way to stay engaged with Rotary at a time when our Club needs our support.Īs your President, I plan to remind us all of why Rotary matters, and mention one great thing Rotary has done each and every week. But we’re resilient and we have adapted, with committees, fellowship groups and even our Wednesday meetings taking place virtually. We haven’t been able to meet in person for a while, and the road to returning to full-Club in-person meetings will be slow, and it will be gradual. I know that the current pandemic has affected all of us, and every aspect of our lives-so it’s natural that our Club has been affected too.
