Report from the President

This Rotary year, I have had the privilege to serve as president of the most dedicated and interesting group of people that have ever been in my life - the Rotary Club of Harrisburg. I have been continually impressed with the contributions of our members not only to the work of our club but also to their communities.  A very exciting and busy year began with the three pillars of our strategic plan – Service, Membership, and Branding and ended with varied definitions of advance in all three areas.

Local and international service is documented in the following Pancake Breakfast, Youth Community Development Team, Salvation Army bell ringing, and Dominican Republic mission reports.  Additional service opportunities included hosting the Homeless Shelter for ten days in January, participating in the Centennial tree planting, and hosting a Red Cross Blood donation day on April 11.  The Homeless Shelter project involved 21 Rotarians and has led our club to plan expanded homeless support in the coming Rotary year.  Global service was also supported with an unprecedented addition of 46 Paul Harris Fellowships in February.
