Metro Rotary will celebrate its 20^th birthday next month!  Since our club’s founding in 1993, we have seen many professionals come and go, but our core mission has remained true.  As a result, we have been able to assist many people, both locally and on an international level.  Five of our charter members remain active today!  A special thank you to Win Burggraaff, John John, Ginny Northcutt, Audrey Spieler and Jim Stock.  Your devotion of time and talents has played a key role in our club’s growth, and we appreciate each of you.

As a reminder, we only have two months left in this Rotary year.  I encourage you to remain involved in our club’s activities, and plan ahead to be even more active in the year to come.  Help make Metro Rotary History!

President Marcia

As part of your membership in our club, you receive the monthly magazine, The Rotarian.  This publication offers many insightful stories about Rotary projects and clubs throughout the world.  Over 1.2 million Rotarians are reading the same magazine in 23 languages.

Please take the time each month to read through your issue.  I’m confident you will be impressed with the many activities our fellow Rotarians are involved in, as well as how we are able to assist people who do not have the same resources we have available.  If we want to promote Rotary to others, we need to be well informed!

Thanks again for all you do to make Metro Rotary such a success!

President Marcia
