PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE FOR ROTARY
Our Rotary International President for 2021-22 is Shekhar Mehta and his theme is "Serve to Change Lives". As we emerge from this challenging time in the World, we have a unique opportunity to move forward to meet an increasing need in our Community and beyond.
As Rotarians we can all be proud of how we met the challenges this past year by continuing our meetings online and more recently in person while offering an online option. We will not go back to the way things were before the pandemic, we will move forward opening up opportunities for others and making a renewed difference in our Community. What we do as Rotarians opens an opportunity for someone as we serve to change lives.
My goal as President this year will be to continue to assist our local schools as they recover from this past year. The needs in our schools are greater than in past years with many children having been unable to keep up due to internet obstacles in our rural area. We must identify and meet the needs of our community through the schools and in so many other ways. I want to continue the many great programs we have participated in over the years, including the speech contest, dictionary handouts, the scholarship opportunities as well as the RYLA program.
I would like to thank the members of the Rotary Club of Walnut Grove for their participation during the past year. You have been instrumental in "meeting the moment" through your dedicated service and successful fund raising efforts. I am proud to be a Rotarian and look forward to the opportunity to "Serve to Change Lives".
