President's Message

As we wrap up 2023, I'd like to extend a huge thank you for your continued dedication to Rotary and our club. Together, we must continue doing our important work. While you reflect on your year, you can Create Hope in the World by getting more involved and taking action in 2024. 
 
Next Wednesday, we have our annual Holiday Giving Project & Party at Shores. This will be the last meeting our club will have at this beautiful venue. Thank you Jacob Wittrock and Scott Greenman for graciously allowing us to use the space these past few years. Please plan to attend this party so we can celebrate the end of a successful year together this holiday season. Come armed with food to share, scissors, and tape - we have presents for 9 children to wrap! 
 
As always, watch your email with more information from Secretary Erin Steffen or myself. Additional service projects may come available throughout the month!
 
If you are interested in learning something new or have an idea of a speaker or a service project, please reach out to me so we can work together to get it on the schedule! 
 
Thank you for being a Rotarian!
 
Yours In Rotary,
Katie Wilford
