Reflections 2025
by
Joe Dorman and Jim Priest
Happy New Year, Rotarians! You won’t see a ball-drop in Times Square on July 1, but the new year for Rotary has begun! Let’s celebrate the one-year reign of President Ross, bid a grateful-for-your-service adieu to President Suzanne, and get ready for some outstanding weekly meetings AND writings from fellow Club members in the Reflections column of our newsletter.
As Co-Chairs of the Reflections Committee, we have shamelessly and outlandishly promised fame, fortune and Pulitzer Prizes to those who volunteered for this breathtakingly risky assignment. As you read Reflections this year, you can be assured of pithy pronouncements of proverbs, newsy notes of nostalgia and incisive iterations of intellectual insights. All this for free as part of your membership dues. What a deal! READ MORE

We have a travel opportunity available through our World Service Committee. Thanks to your contributions to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, we were able to complete an Auto Mechanics Training Global Grant in Piura, Peru.
Mary Jane Calvey is leading the efforts of planning a trip to celebrate the successful implementation of this grant in Peru and invites any Rotary member plus their spouse who may want to travel to the celebration and meet fellow Rotarians from the Miraflores Rotary Club of Piura. Travel dates will be September 20 through September 27, 2025 and a travel agent in country is assisting in lodging and transport accommodations. Should you wish to join, you can even choose to add time in Peru if you want to explore other parts of the beautiful country. For more information, contact Mary Jane Calvey
