A message from the president,
Welcome to the Rotary Club of Cambridge, Ohio! You may be asking yourself, what is Rotary?
Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
I became a Rotarian so I can give back to my community. Giving back is not always doling out money to every hand asking, but also giving your time to a great cause or two or five. Some of the most rewarding things we do as Rotarians is give our time. I love being able to help the Salvation Army hand out lunches during the Summer Sack Lunch Program, or meals and presents at Christmas time. We also hand out tree saplings in the elementary schools and if we have extra, we hand them out to the community around Arbor Day! These are just a few things that keep us busy.
The Rotary motto is “Service above Self”, our members stay busy throughout the year honoring this motto with many projects to help create lasting change for ourselves, in our community and across the globe.
This year’s theme “Create Hope in the World” serves as a reminder that we need to do something in our lives every day that just might make someone else feel a little better. That one little thing may make a difference for that person and change their world for the better!
Is this the year that we cure polio? I don’t know but we are so close to attaining this world-wide goal!
Thank you for taking this journey with me as your president for Rotary year 2023-2024.
