President's Message,

Mission Statement:  TOGETHER we can increase our impact in the community, to unite and take action to create lasting change across our community and have good fellowship and have fun.

We are in challenging times; but, Together as Rotarians we will meet the challenges and continue to serve our community.   I would like to thank all our members and our past president and officers for stepping up to the challenges last year as we dealt with the pandemic.  The accomplishments that took place last year were outstanding!  Just to name a few of the accomplishments as listed in our Past President’s message and some that we just completed in summary were;

  1. Provided $1,000 COVID-19 Grant to help the local communities.

  2. Received a grant for $3,000 to provide free swimming lessons to 75 children.

  3. Provided a grant for $1,000 to the local Boys & Girls Club for COVID-19 supplies.

  4. Provided help to distribute food from the Food Bank to those in need locally.

  5. Provided funding for the Alice Green Alliance Windmill Project at Alice Lake Findley.

  6. Held our first Annual 9-11 Memorial Service and scheduled to hold the 2nd Annual Memorial this year.

  7. This year we were just awarded a District Grant for $1,500 and with our matching amount of $1,500; we will be able to provide clothing for kids in need of Alice Independent School District for 2021-2022 school year. 

As shown by the projects completed above, we have some great new members along with the current members that stepped up and did a fantastic job. 

Some of my goals and action plans for the club are what we looked at in our Pets training and just to name few are as follows;

Increase our impact in the community – Continue to provide service to assist our community and work with other groups in our community.

Expand our Reach – Continue to grow in membership by inviting guests to our meeting and have other groups work “Together” with us to support our community.

Enhance Participant Engagement – Keeping our members involved in our projects and have them share ideas to improve and create our projects while working “Together”.

 

"Together” we can accomplish many things, and so as Rotarians we follow “Service Above Self”.  As stated in our Rotary Core Values, “By honoring our past and embracing our future, WE can evolve and keep Rotary not only relevant, but Thriving.”

Let us all have a very successful and meaningful year and lets all have fun “Together”!

 

Respectfully,

Mr. David Silva
