Weekly Coffee Klatch
Since the Province has extended its Stay-at-Home directive, we decided to set up a weekly Zoom “Coffee Klatch” each Thursday from 10:30 to 11:15 am.
If we haven’t met in person (or via Zoom) yet, here are three things you should know about me:
I have a four-year-old daughter, Emerson.
I am married to Dan.
I have the wildest career path (feel free to ask about it!), but everything I’ve done has been centered around creating change.
...and #3 is really great because our theme this year is “Serve to Change Lives”!
As we start this new Rotary year, take a look at your clubs, your communities, and the world. Consider how we can remove barriers to allow current and future Rotarians the opportunity to serve to change lives.
There are a lot of exciting things planned for this year! I look forward to connecting with each of you and learning about all of the amazing contributions our Rotarians make. I am extremely honored to serve as your District Governor for 2021-2022. I sincerely appreciate all of your support and enthusiasm as we look forward to a great year!
