President's Message
Rotary Opens Opportunties

  

Rotary International President Holger Knaack selected Rotary Opens Opportunities as this year’s theme. District Governor Kirk Driskell is carrying the same theme into his year. What a perfect choice as now is the right time to embrace new ideas, and action plans.  This week we will preview the year ahead and share some of the projects we plan to accomplish.  See you Thursday.
