Happy New Year and happy Rotary mid-year! While this may not be a typical time for Rotary celebration, with our Rotary changeovers and "new year" festivities not for another six months, it is the perfect time to begin looking ahead at next year.
As DG Luc shared in his message last week, celebrate the victories and look ahead to the opportunities. That means current and future leaders collaborating to help our clubs and communities to continuously grow stronger. Change takes time, especially when change means a leadership transition, but it brings forth the opportunity to learn from each other and work together in service above self.
For all the Presidents-Elect, I look forward to meeting you during our Pre-PELS and PELS and serving together during the year and a half ahead! Thank you to everyone else who will be taking on a club or district leadership role in the Rotary new year! For anyone else who may be thinking about stepping up, talk to the current leaders, ask questions, and take advantage of all opportunities.
Between district and club events (more on that and how to add yours below!), it will be a packed calendar and I can't want to meet you all!
