As you know, we take Thanksgiving Week off so that we can be with our families and friends to give thanks for our blessings.
In the President’s Corner, I was going to list all of the Rotary things that I am thankful for, like:
- Service Projects – Young Citizens Awards, Lift for Life Gym, Old Newsboys Day, Giving Tree, USO Christmas/Holiday cards, Veterans Coat Giveaway, etc.
- Programs – Navy Week, Veterans Day with the M.A.C., Blues Museum, great speakers telling us about many interesting aspects of St. Louis (Music, Buildings & the Browns, to name a few)
- Social Events – Happy Hour, Christmas/Holiday Party, Turkey Burp
- Fund Raising – Bowling – Trivia
- Concern for fellow Rotarians
- Club 11’s volunteer spirit and cooperation
I could go on … you get the idea.
But, what I most thankful for as a Rotarian is:
The people of Rotary! You make all of the above happen for the goodwill and benefit of all.
God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving !
