President's Korner 

I am writing to thank you for the honor of representing Mesa West Rotary as your President during the 2017-2018 year.  June is my last month, and Polly and I will miss the meetings on June 21 and June 28 to attend the convention in Toronto, Canada.  Hopefully, by now you know that Mesa West is DARK on June 14 due to the Changing of the Guard the following Saturday at the home of Don and Chris Labarge.  Having said that, I have but two meetings remaining.  I’m sad about that!

 

It has been a fun year.  I’ve learned a lot.  I have been blessed with a wonderful hard-working board.  And the greatest group of Rotarians, a generous and caring group.  The highlights of this year are too numerous to mention.  I’ll do that at the Changing of the Guard.  Mesa West can be proud of raising and spending over $40,000 on projects or worthy causes and the over 2,400 manhours contributed during the year. 

 

I’m pleased that I’ll be passing the gavel to Chris Krueger, and I’m very confident in her abilities and passion for Rotary.  The year upcoming will be a spectacular year for Mesa West Rotary.  Thanks again, and I remain yours in Rotary.
