Greetings,
I'm writing you all for the last time as our club President before the Rotary year ends on June 30. I have greatly enjoyed this year getting to represent our club and I feel so proud of how we've grown and what we've accomplished. With that said, I am immensely excited to welcome our next club President, Erin Luken. I have full confidence that her energy, passion, and leadership will drive our club to new levels of growth and community impact. Welcome, Erin - we are so lucky to have you as our leader!
This Sunday, please join us as we deep-dive into possible projects and long-term partnerships for our club. It has been a common point of feedback from our members that we would like to have a big, impactful project that becomes ingrained as part of our identity as a club. This is a chance for us to make that happen so let's get to work. There is an abundance of organizations and causes that we could get involved in so we will use this time to pinpoint where we would like to focus our time and energy.
See you on Sunday,
Chelsea Sheedy
2018-2019 President
