Welcome

A New Rotary Year: Creating Lasting Impact

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

It is a great honor and privilege to serve as your Rotary Club President for the coming year. Thank you for the confidence and trust you have placed in me. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve this wonderful club and to work alongside each of you.

As we begin this new Rotary year, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to our outgoing President, Newton Chu, and his Board of Directors for their outstanding leadership and dedication. Their hard work has strengthened our club and provided us with a solid foundation for the future. I would especially like to recognize Newton's unwavering commitment to the PolioPlus campaign. Through his participation in the PolioPlus cycling challenge and his exceptional fundraising efforts, he demonstrated Rotary's commitment to ending polio and inspired us all through his example of Service Above Self.

This year's Rotary International theme, "Create Lasting Impact," reminds us that our service is about more than completing projects—it is about changing lives. Every act of kindness, every volunteer hour, and every partnership we build has the power to make a meaningful and lasting difference in our community and beyond.

As your President, I and the 2026 – 2027 Board members look forward to working with all of you as we continue to serve our community, welcome new members, strengthen existing friendships, and create new opportunities for fellowship and service. Rotary is built on teamwork, and our greatest strength lies in the dedication, generosity, and talents of our members.

I encourage each of you to share your ideas, get involved in our projects, and invite others to experience the fellowship and purpose that Rotary offers. Together, we can build on our club's proud tradition and continue making a positive impact where it matters most.

Thank you once again for your support and friendship. I am excited about the year ahead and confident that, together, we will create lasting impact through our commitment to Service Above Self.
