“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision of tomorrow.”
“Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs forth from
the soul.”
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the
parent of all others.”
“When you realize
there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” - Lao Tzu
We find ourselves at the beginning of another month and with that comes thanksgiving and gratitude for the blessings we have received. Thank you so much for all that you've done to Amplify Rotary! Thank you for your dedication, your commitment, and your determination to make a difference in the world, especially in our district!
Let us ever be mindful of those who are less fortunate than
we are as we serve humanity in our Seven Areas of Focus. Let me challenge you
to continue to work towards our Foundation, Membership, and especially our commitment to our Mental Health
Goals, beginning with ourselves. We have so many reasons to do
this work. Most importantly, we need to consider ourselves just as
valuable. Take time during this season to
reflect, reenergize and we recommit to better self-care; this will aid us in providing
care to others.
I'm appreciative of ALL of our programs, specifically: Be the
Voice, Interact, Laws of life, RYLA, Rotary Youth Exchange, GRSP, DEI, CART, ROTARACT,
and Human Trafficking just to mention a few.
WE ARE AMPLIFYING ROTARY! Your
efforts to Tell Your Rotary Stories, Projects, Public Image Post and special programs
you have shared with me, and Walter have been EXCEPTIONAL l!!! I may
not have mentioned you in the work you have done, BELIEVE ME, IT HAS NOT GONE
UNNOTICED, I praise your efforts!!!!!
As we move forward into our New Year, lets “Reach”
forward to complete 100% of our goals, as we race toward the finish line. There are many more dynamic things we can
accomplish! I ask that you Refocus and together, we dedicate ourselves to
making our clubs and this District “Better than the Best!
