Dear Fellow Rotarians,
I became a Rotary member in late 2011. Over the past four years, I have seen how small group of individuals can accomplish big things together changing the lives of the people in their community as well as in places around the world they never have visited.
Our club is young, just chartered in February last year; however, our commitment to one another, to our communities, to our District and to our International Rotary leadership is strong. I witness this commitment during each meeting, e-mail exchange, phone calls, and conversations among club members. 
Rotary International President Gary Huang has chosen “Light Up Rotary” as our International theme this year. President Huang states “The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one, you light one, 1.2 million Rotarians light one. Together, we light up the world.”
We have still two months in this Rotarian year.  Let’s finish it strong.
There are four areas of focus for our club this year
1. Membership – deliver on our membership plan of action as presented to our District Governor Lisa Faith on July 19th, 2014.
2. Club Administration – build a solid club administration to ensure club’s future growth
3. Service – Increase volunteer opportunities for our membership
4. Donations - Our generous donation to The Rotary Foundation will support projects in our communities at home and around the world
When I accepted the position of the club’s president in June 2014, I gave you my commitment to uphold to the ideals of Rotary and to support each individual member of our Club. I’m looking forward to your inputs and suggestions on how to make the rest of this Rotarian year a memorable and fulfilling year for you.
Yours In Light Up Rotary,
President Sofka
