Happy Club Membership and New Club Development Month!
How perfect in this "Membership and New Club Development Month" we wish congratulations and welcome to our most recently approved Rotaract Club! Under the direction of Elanah Koh, I'm looking forward to encouraging the new club and seeing all that they have planned to accomplish.
Thank you to all of the Rotarians who have welcomed me to their special events and meetings over the last month or so. Club official visits so far to date Akron, Medina Sunrise, Kent, Strongsville, Burton-Middlefield, Mentor, Hillcrest Sunrise and Tallmadge. Inductions of new members or club Presidents/boards, officers Painesville, Port-Summit, Hudson Clocktower, Hudson Rotary, Lakewood- Rocky River and Events for Stow-Munroe Falls/ Stuff the Bus, and even time for a Rotary Camp cookout! Its been a fantastic kick-off to the Rotary year and I'm looking forward to getting out to meet Rotarians all around our District. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about all that are district clubs do for our communities across northeast Ohio. Keep an eye out for Facebook and Linkedin posts for all the fun!
We are really excited to welcome Rotary International President Elect Stephanie Urchick next week. We've been planning for the August 17th Guardians game where RIPE Stephanie will throw out the first pitch and join the RC of Cleveland for lunch and the 18th when the Mentor and Painesville clubs will host a visit at Broadmoor and the Akron Rotary Camp and Club will welcome her to Camp. Help us welcome RIPE Stephanie next week with sold out events and Northeast Ohio hospitality! It will be such an honor to have her here with us! Please join us if you are able.
