2009-2010 Report from the President

Carolyn DumeresqWhat a wonderful year of challenges!  We had programs that challenged our thinking and venues that challenged our spacial relations and agenda time changes that challenged our flexibility!  And as usual Rotarians rose to the challenge.

Rising to the challenge isn’t a new concept for our club.  We stretched our already impressive support for international programs by initiating a water program for Honduras.  We exceeded our goals for the Pancake Breakfast which helped to increase our support to High School students attending schools in Harrisburg. Our list of other community service efforts are impressive as well which you can find in the reports below.

We struggled this year in maintaining our membership.  Plagued by deaths, job loss and transfers our attrition numbers exceeded our new member numbers.  I am certain that, with the quality work done in our strategic planning process and with the focus and support of our new officer team and Board, we will be able to achieve our goals for membership next year.

A few well deserved thank yous to my mentor Janice Black, my alter ego Bob Hostetter and my right and left arms Linda Freedenberg.   A final thank you to the members of our club for all of your kind words, support and positive energy as I served you and our club this past year.
