Year in Review

2008-2009 Report from the President

Barry Ramper II Dear Fellow Rotarians,

The results of the past year assuredly reflect not only The Rotary Club of Harrisburg's commitment to serving our Harrisburg community but also to serving internationally, as well. Your efforts put forth changed lives for the better, recognized accomplishments, and provided encouragement to those in need. This reality is the ultimate goal to be achieved at the end of any endeavor. This reality is the essence of Rotary, our foundation being Service Above Self and the Four Way Test. Collectively, we continued and achieved our commitment to having meaningful, organized, and purposeful meetings while strengthening our existing relationships. We have had the fortunate pleasure of beginning new friendships with those who recently chose to become Rotarians. I commend you for being, by our collective actions and outcomes, in a category larger than being just a member of the Rotary Club of Harrisburg; I commend you for being a Rotarian.

2007-2008 Report from the President

Thomas Carrie Wissler Dear Fellow Rotarians,

What an extraordinary year this has been! I cannot believe that it’s almost an entire year since I stood before you to be installed as Club President by Past-District-Governor Janice Black! The year has flown by....

I knew when I began my term that our Club was blessed by many committed members, but serving as President has made me far more aware of this fact. Nowhere have I encountered such hard-working members of a volunteer organization, anywhere. The Rotary Club of Harrisburg has around 40 committees, but they work smoothly and independently, with the able support of our stellar Executive Director Linda Freedenberg. Linda truly provides the continuity our Club needs to ensure our success.

Report from the President

Dear fellow Rotarians –

Thank you for the fantastic honor and privilege of serving as the President of the Rotary Club of Harrisburg. It was a wonderful experience – much more than I had anticipated.

Before my term even started I was exposed to the larger world of Rotary International at the PETS (Presidents – Elect Training Session) Conference. I met District Governors, trainers, and many local Rotarians who provided the tools and contacts for better club management and programs. I also attended the International Convention in Copenhagen with 15,000 other Rotarians from around the world.

What has impressed me the most during the past year is the dedication, enthusiasm, and resources of our own members. I am amazed and thankful that when there was something to be done members would commit themselves 110%. We set new highs in fundraising for the pancake breakfast (benefiting the Harrisburg School District) and bell ringing (for the Salvation Army), increased our membership, enhanced our public relations, developed our new website, and much, much more!

I also want to thank our Executive Director Linda Freedenberg. Linda’s organization and commitment make our club as great as it is. The Rotary Club of Harrisburg is a terrific club, but we can definitely be better and we will be with all your contributions. I am proud to have served as your President. Thank you all for your support, encouragement and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Garry Brinton, President
