RI President’s Message
July 1st, 2009
It is my pleasure to congratulate you on your installation to the office of 2009–10 Rotary Club President.
You are here because, like me, you believe in the future of Rotary. You realize that it is essential for each of us as Rotarians, to do what is necessary to keep Rotary thriving. You recognize that the future of your club is vital to the future of Rotary continuing to operate in thirty-three thousand communities in nearly every corner of the globe. You understand that The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands.
We are all part of an organization with the capacity to do great deeds, the sense to do them wisely, and the strength of character to do them well. Building on these high standards, I encourage you to continue focusing on water, health and hunger, and literacy as the key areas of emphasis this year. That is why I am asking you to call on your core values of leadership and service as you work within your own club and district, in cooperation with other clubs and districts, and with the support of the Foundation to build a stronger future for Rotary.
As you perform your duties throughout the year, remember the responsibility for Rotary is yours. Take pride each day in the decisions you make and the actions you take, because these choices are determining the course of Rotary for us all. I can think of no place better to entrust the strength of this organization than to the members who have built it. Truly, The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands.
Sincerely,
John Kenny
President, 2009–10
