President's Message
 

Greetings, Denver/Lake Norman Rotarians!

As August draws to a close, we can reflect on District Governor Connie Molland's wonderful presentation last week and look forward to this Wednesday's speaker, Andre Gagne, Founder and Chief of Operations for Next Level Disaster Relief.

Also, congratulations to Morrie Lawing (Paul Harris +1), Tracy Petrosky (Paul Harris +1) and Steve Baker (Paul Harris +4) who were honored last Wednesday for their contributions to the Rotary Foundation.

Coming up on September 11th, Jim Perry and Celeste Renaldo will conduct a Rotary 101 training session following our regular breakfast meeting.  While all members are invited to attend, this session is highly recommended for those who are new to our group since COVID.

Lastly, our Operation Warm campaign ends this week but you can still help provide coats and hoodies for children that will desperately need them as we approach the colder winter months. Please consider contributing if you haven't already.

I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

District Governor Connie Molland Visits With Denver/Lake Norman Rotary
Connie spoke at the August 21st meeting about Rotary as a leadership training organization, the need for clubs to do a self-assessment from time to time, the importance of giving to the Rotary Foundation and her plan to place Peace Poles throughout District 7670. The Denver/Lake Norman leadership team of Board members and committee chairs honored Connie with a reception at Craig and Jeane Buhrendorf's home the evening prior to her talk.
