Dear Fellow Rotarians and friends,
A month has passed already since the beginning of 2023 and within the Rotarian community, February is Peace building and Conflict resolution month. Let us take a moment to have a special thought for all the victims of unjust, unwarranted wars and conflicts around the world. These issues can come from the greediness of people in search for power, wealth, or personal agendas. Despite these challenges, as Rotarians, we believe that change can happen, and our efforts make an impact. We work towards making the world a better place. We pray that the governing bodies divert the funds used for armed conflicts to help the people in need instead, all around the globe for a better life and future. I have much pleasure to share with you that January has been very rewarding for our organisation. Witnessing and participating in the induction of at least 10 new Rotarians during my official visits within different clubs has not only shown growth. It shows that our hard work has not gone to waste and each of you is making a difference. On my end, I have driven through snowstorms to be able to meet my commitments and goals of sharing fellowship and friendship in person with you all. It warms my heart to see the work we can achieve together as a team. I am very happy to note that some of the clubs are very active in trying to reverse the trend of losing members caused by the Covid19 pandemic and related factors. They continuously search for innovative ways to engage and retain current members as well as prospective new members. |
