President Alex's Message


photo credit: PhotoMari-USA

Fellow Rotarians -

Wow! What an amazing couple of weeks!

Last week, Representative Guffey was nothing short of passionate, inspiring, and humble. His message on mental health and the loss of his son resonated with the Club. Special thanks to Becky Nelson for inviting him to share his message. 

We also had a successful Golf/Tennis/Pickle Ball Tournament this Monday. Thank you to Bob Clarkson and his entire team (and all of the volunteers, sponsors, and players) for a meaningful and fun event. Having the event coincide with our 9/11 Remembrance and our Rotary Cup competition for our First Responders really made the day special. As a reminder, we do not have our normal meeting on Thursday. See you next week!
