President Alex's Message
Hello from Pakistan- Today I had the pleasure of joining the Rotary Club of Lahore Pakistan for a club meeting and a discussion on potential joint projects that range from a water project in a village, to polio vaccine administration, to a women’s empowerment project involving a sewing business initiative. I hope that this is just the start to expanding our club’s impact around the world.
We are also amidst our planning and fundraising for our Greenway Golf Tournament and Hagan Cup Tennis Tournament + our first ever Pickle Ball Tournament. Please sign up and help Bobby Clarkson and his teams get sponsors for our number one charity fundraiser!
I’m excited for our first meeting together on July 13th. We will have Wah Lah Catering’s initial debut and a wonderful family style luncheon together.
Have a wonderful week and do good!
Alex
