President's Message

Greetings from the Darien Jungle in Panama!  

Coming to a country that has areas of extreme poverty and looking at the picture of our children of Vickery Mill Elementary School makes me remember how the simple things in life are what matters.   We have come prepared for this trip with simple big balloons with rubber bands attached to the ends and seeing the smiles that this simple balloon will bring the children in this remote village.  Then there's our water project which is located or a book like our club donated to the Read Across Roswell, reminds us that it's the simple things in life that matter.   Thank you Rotarian Stacy Perlman for arranging Read Across Roswell for our schools.  And although we were not able to read live to the children of our schools our club can still put a smile on the faces of many children.  

I am sure next year we will resume reading live to the kids.   Coming out of this pandemic where everyone was "masked up" without smiles showing, also makes me appreciate how important it to see a smile and to feel human touch.  Who can't remember the first time an infant looked up at you, saw your smile and responded with a big smile.  So enjoy the day and give someone a smile. 

I will not be at this weeks meeting but PE John will be ringing the bell.  And remember that Thursday the 17th is St Patrick's Day, so start shopping for your favorite green outfit for our meeting!
