President's Message
Fellow Rotarians,
How very appropriate it is that June is Rotary Fellowship Month. As I complete my last month as Club President I am reminded of all the great times and outstanding fellowship Rebecca and I have truly enjoyed during the past year. The club visitors, the District events such as PETS, Christmas in July, Kalahari, Brewing Beer, Oktoberfest, The Wine Train, Our annual Christmas Party and the District Conference were all fun and interesting. Each of these events gave us a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Rotary while at the same time making many new friends and enjoying the special fellowship that prevails throughout our Club and District.
Please join us on June 25th to welcome incoming President Carl Commons and his team as they begin their year of leadership. We will be having a wonderful lunch, and enjoying one more day of fellowship! The festivities will start at 11:30 am, and families are invited!
On a final note, as I write my last newsletter to you as President I am personally asking you to consider giving what you can toward our Every Rotarian Every Year Campaign. Any amount you give will go a long way in Rotary Internationals just causes.
Yours in Rotary,
Shawn Mueller
