2015 – a new year, a new opportunity! Here’s’ hoping that you are looking enthusiastically toward a
new beginning as our calendar moves over to 2015. We have much to be thankful for, and many
challenges ahead of us. As Rotarians, we are the eternal optimists. As a people, we believe in what is
POSSIBLE and what CAN happen rather than be limited by belief systems that keep us from realizing our
potential. We know that COLLECTIVELY and INDIVIDUALLY, we can make life better for each other, our
international brothers and sisters and humanity. WE CAN and WILL make this a better world, one
Rotarian at a time.
I trust that you have resolved to make life better for the community you serve. Whatever you are
passionate about, take that notion and make great things happen in 2015! Remember to support
Rotary’s charity – our Rotary Foundation – as those dollars will also make great things happen in 2015.
With the right combination of effort and resources, our impact is unlimited. Here’s to a NEW YEAR and
NEW POSSIBILITIES!!
On a more practical note, I hope that you will resolve to be as involved in our District 7770 as possible. I
hope that you will mark your calendar for our District Conference March 20-22, 2015 at the beautiful
Marina Inn in Myrtle Beach. Our theme this year is “Rotary: The (bow)ties that bind us together”. We
are planning an educational and inspirational conference with one central theme – FUN! Please make
plans to join us in March as we Light Up Rotary!
Happy New Year to each of you!
In Rotary Service,
Jimmie
