Happy New Year Rotarians!
Welcome to January one and all. We officially had our first meeting at Liberty Harbor - and to follow the 4 way test - there were some road bumps. This week, and going forward, we will be meeting on the second floor. Members wishing to avoid stairs can utilize the elevator. This will allow for a more timely lunch. Speaking of lunch, we will also be switching over to a multi-option buffet style that will be improved from our first week.
Rotary International's focus for January is Vocational Service Month. Per Rotary"By including men and women from diverse professions and backgrounds, Rotary recognizes the importance of all skills and occupations. A vibrant Rotary club reflects the businesses, organizations, and professions in its community, embracing diversity in experiences and perspectives. Your professional life and vocational service go together. Rotarians have a dual responsibility: to represent their occupations within their club and to exemplify the ideals of Rotary in their places of work."
Our club received notice of a resignation this month. Tim Holsworth, Past President and longtime golf scramble chair, is finally retiring in 2025. We thank Tim for all of his hard work and wish him well!
And GO LIONS!
