Embarking on my journey as YOUR President of our Club, I can’t tell you how PROUD I am to lead such a dynamic group.  Looking back on what our Club has accomplished, it is nothing short of incredible and this up-coming year will be no exception. 

 

As we move forward, keep in mind that this year’s theme, as created by Rotary International President, Barry Rassin; is “Be The Inspiration”.  The logo depicts a wave, which signifies the power of Rotary to have a positive impact on people’s lives worldwide. 

 

The tip of the wave is the middle of a heart.  This reinforces Rotarians having huge hearts based on the amount of time and money we donate to better the lives of others, most of which we will never have the opportunity to meet.

In my twelve years as a member of The Rotary Club of Truckee, I have observed dozens of new member presentations.  The one thing all of them have in common when addressing our Club for the first time is the desire to get involved and give back to our community.   I suspect new member presentations prior to my joining our Club expressed a similar message.  That said, I’m asking every member TO REMEMBER THAT DESIRE and to engage in as many Rotary functions as possible this year, AND, “BE THE INSPRIATION”. 

 

I hope all of you have a wonderful 4^th of July Holiday weekend. 

 

In Service,

Randy
