PRESIDENT ALEX'S MESSAGE

Fellow Rotarians-

It is hard to believe that one month of Rotary Year 2023-2024 has come and gone. I believe that our lunch and lunch service is improving. We will continue to work towards refining the process so please be patient.

Kurt Hilbert and I just returned from Colombia where we met the Club's 2022-2023 GRSP Student Emilio Ochoa and his family to celebrate Emilio's college graduation. We also connected with his uncle, who is a Rotarian, and we are working towards a joint international project - stay tuned!

Our speaker this week is Congressman Rich McCormick of the 6th Congressional District. Congressman McCormick's resume includes being a Marine, a doctor, and a family man. He is a dynamic speaker, so I encourage everyone to attend.
