Dear Fellow Rotarians,


“Reach Within To Embrace Humanity” is the theme for Rotary
International for its 2011-2012 fiscal year. This theme adopted by
incoming Rotary International President Kaylan Banerjee of the
Rotary Club of Vapi, India speaks volumes to and on behalf of
Rotary members worldwide as well as the 150 current members
of the Rotary Club of Statesboro.  As incoming president of the
Rotary Club of Statesboro, I trust that our club will do its part to
embrace humanity whether it may be displayed in the form of
helping students and kids in the Statesboro and Bulloch County
area in their education and extra-curricular activities or by helping
provide a new well for those persons in far away countries who
do not have enough potable water to drink.

I am proud to be a member of this club and am satisfied that the
directors and committees selected to also serve this year will do
all they can to maintain the high standards of the club while
promoting service above self.  We will continue our tradition of
supporting the Rotary Foundation by striving to join the other
100% Paul Harris Fellow clubs. Our club is well on its way toward
this very lofty goal.  We will also attempt to turn the tide on the
past trend by adding a net of two additional members during the
year.
    
The Rotary Club of Statesboro is one of the largest in the state
and can boast a very diverse representation among its members,
which include professionals, educators, commercial and
agriculture businesspersons, bankers, church leaders and other
non-profit executives to name a few.  We look forward to again co-
sponsoring with the Downtown Statesboro Rotary Club another
student through the Georgia Rotary Student Program this
academic year. We will also continue our efforts to support the
Medical Equipment Transport Service (METS) which takes used
medical equipment at the Savannah Depot and ships it where
needed to under-developed nations.

All in all, we are looking forward to another great year in the
Rotary Club of Statesboro.
