September 1 Meeting
Our speaker wasRotary District Governor Bret McKeand. Bret talked about the theme for this year - 'Serve to Change Lives' - and encouraged us to 'double-down' on community service this coming year. He also encouraged us to focus on combining last year's Rotary theme with the theme for this current year - 'Rotary opens opportunities for all of us to serve to change lives'. Rotary helps to provide well intentioned individuals the opportunities to achieve things that one/single person would not be able to achieve by themselves.
Bret awarded Ed Shockley with the Community Service Champion award. Ed is a past president and is currently our Community Service chair. In April, he also took over Harvey Clarkâs presidential duties when he became ill, and has continued to make our V.I.P. meeting format possible by doing the necessary equipment setup each week. Ed has definitely changed a lot of lives during his years in Rotary.
