Dear Fellow Rotarians of the E-Club of Houston, TX,
 
Rotary International is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
 
We know that Rotary International can’t accomplish anything without people.  People are doing the good work for the people that need our help.   As the past Rotary International President Ron Burton stated in his final address in Sydney “Being a Rotarian isn't about our own achievements, it isn't about our own careers, it really isn't about us at all. It's about the people we help.  At the end of the day, the only thing that matters in Rotary is how much better the world becomes because Rotary is in it."
 
Look at the great things our club has done for our communities and at places we have never visited in the short period of existence of only 14 months. I added the activities and projects completed by you since July 1st, 2014 in the document “Humanitarian footprint of E-Club of Houston” posted on our WebSite in the section “Home Page Download Files”. So while we may not have the luxury like other Rotary clubs of a meal together with all club members, the work of our club is impressive.
 
I want to say “thank you” for being part of this amazing and vibrant club.
 
Yours in Light Up Rotary,
President Sofka
