Dear Fellow Rotarians,
It is with great honor and privilege that I serve the Rotary Club of
Statesboro. Rotary's International President, D. K. Lee, has
launched "Make Dreams Real", the 2008-2009 Rotary year theme
and has asked us to focus on the most precious resource of
every community - our children. He states, "When choosing our
service projects, we do our best to work in ways that will have the
most positive and most lasting impact....and we must begin by
taking care of our youngest generation."
As we enter our 72nd year of civic service, our club continues to
put "Service Above Self." From the Pittman Rotary Scholarship
Fund, the Care-Ring Program, the Georgia Rotary Student
Program, Boy Scouts, United Way, the Boys and Girls Club of
Bulloch County, the Memory Walk for Alzheimer's research,
Literacy projects, and building and funding Habitat Houses, our
club "Makes Dreams Real". We will continue to support these
projects and look for additional opportunities to do more.
Our District Governor, Kenan Kern, a Savannah resident and
Statesboro native, has presented several key goals for District
6920. He has asked each club to pass a friendship gavel
through the entire district of 65 clubs, and we are well on our way
to achieving this task. Also, he encourages Every Rotary Every
Year (EREY), which supports the Rotary Foundation. Through
foundation contributions, our club continues to pursue Paul
Harris Fellowships and support PolioPlus programs around the
world.
This year, we are most pleased to have Ms. Sarah Youngblood
Hines as our Honorary Rotarian. Sarah has given of her time
and financial resources for years in our community, and it is an
honor that she has joined us this year. She will lend welcomed
counsel to our mission in the community.
I look forward to the upcoming year and would like to give a
special thanks to the Board of Directors, committee chairmen,
and 2008-2009 Chairman of the Board, Bryan Burke, for their
effective leadership, insight, and advice this year.
In Rotary Service,
Lynda Brannen Williamson
