Fellow Rotarians

This is the time of year we pause to count our blessing and look forward to the New Year with hope and resolve.

It has been a remarkable year for Carol and me. During the first 100 days, we visited all 44 clubs in the district and experienced the friendship and uniqueness of each one. We were inspired by your passion and commitment. We were amazed by your creative projects and witnessed how you are making a difference in the world. We will not soon forget this special time we've shared with you.

Our nation faces new challenges in the year ahead. Whatever hardship this may be for us, it will be even harder for those we serve. As Rotarians, we will meet these challenges with determination and spirit.

Carol and I look forward to working with you in the fellowship of Rotary as we Make Dreams Real.

Best wishes for a happy holiday season.

Carol and Ed
