What a great year this has been for our club. " Making Dreams Real" was a perfect theme for my year as President. I want to say thank you to each member of our club and to my wonderful board and committee members.

In planning for my year in review and looking back at what we have been able to accomplish this year we should all be very proud of our club. We met all of our goals, we had great projects and community service. Our Foundation did a great job in allocating monies to organizations that will make a difference in our community. We had lots of time for fellowship, made new friends for life, and we all gave much more than we received in terms of our time to helping make a difference in peoples lives.
 
We enhanced projects that we have done well for so long, and started new projects like the mini fellowship with Nationwide Children's Hospital. We raised a lot of money in a year during a very difficult economic year for all of us. We focused our efforts on things that we could impact in relationship to water, hunger, health and literacy in both our community and internationally. This was in keeping with the focus from RI and DK Lee.

I hope to see you all Friday for a complete wrap up of our year and at the installation dinner on the 30th to celebrate 2008-2009, and get ready for the new year: " The Future of Rotary is In Your Hands."
