Welcome

Hello Fellow Rotarians,

As we welcome the month of May, I’m reminded of how much energy and momentum our club has built this spring. It’s been a season of meaningful service, strong fellowship, and continued commitment to making a difference in our community.

One highlight I’m especially proud to share is the completion of our Playground Map Project at Heusner Elementary. This initiative reflects the heart of Rotary—bringing people together to create something practical, lasting, and beneficial for children and families. Thank you to John Hendricks and everyone who contributed time, ideas, and effort to bring this project to life. It’s a wonderful example of what we can accomplish when we work together.

As we move into the final stretch of our Rotary year, we also begin to reflect on the impact we’ve made—both in large projects and in the smaller, everyday acts of service that often go unseen but are just as important. I encourage each of you to stay engaged, attend meetings when you can, and continue inviting others to experience the value of Rotary. The Secretary position and Community Service Chair positions are still available for the upcoming year. If you are interested in serving through one of these, please let me know.

Thank you for your continued dedication and for all you do to represent Rotary in such a positive way. Together, we are making a difference.

Service above self, united for good,
Amanda Otto
