This year we will emphasize sharing Rotary with youth through our continued support of the above international and local projects as well as considering new possibilities.
I look forward to working with all of you through out the coming year, participating in the Sharing Of Rotary with others and Sharing Rotary With Youth to make this a better place to live - one little bit at a time to continue the immense impact Rotary has on the lives of others in our World today.
I welcome all visiting Rotarians and encourage members of our community to join us for a time of fellowship and to learn more about the sharing of Rotary by visiting our Club on Tuesday night. Our meetings are held at the beautiful Nanaimo Golf Club.
