Greetings fellow Rotarians and friends,
Its hard to imagine that it has been almost four months since assuming the role of Presidency for our beloved Club. I have been humbled that as a Family of Rotarians, individually and collectively, we have utilized our gifts, talents, experiences and passions to touch and impact hundreds of folks.
We are a living proof of our Rotary Theme this year: “BE THE INSPIRATION”. That’s why we exist, for we are motivated to think, say and do in ways that do make a difference.
Let me share what we, as a People of Action have accomplished since 1 September 2018:

So, allow me to simply say once again---Thank you…Gracias….Danke Schoen. Please know that I’m acutely aware that although we lift up Key Leaders, there are so many of you, who jump in there as needed, to support each other, and take care of what’s such a privilege in Serving Others Above Self.
I must say, rain or shine…we have a good time, build lasting relationships and touch the lives of others.
Blessings….
Joe Garcia
