"Imagine" What We Can Do Together This Year!

By George Granade

What an exciting time to be a Rotarian in this 2022-2023 Rotary year!!! We have our first female RI president, Jennifer Jones, Rotaract is a now a special type of Rotary membership and we are very, very close to eradicating Polio with only a few cases this calendar year. With this year’s Rotary theme being “Imagine Rotary,” we can accomplish so many different things. All we must do is “Imagine” it and work toward accomplishing the goal!

I see four major goals for our district this year - related to membership, learning, youth and The Rotary Foundation. And we must have a good time as we do our work. [more]
