President's Message
 

Dear Rotarians,

Thank you for making a difference! 

As we begin another week in this beautiful month of gratitude, I would like to pause  and express my appreciation for each of you and all you do - from the gifts of your time or your contributions to the simple, yet incredibly impactful acts of your smile and words of warmth and care, you make a difference. 

This week we have even more opportunities to learn how we can continue to be change makers both in our community and around the world. Our Rotary be hosting the A21 Global Freedom Summit Screening on Tuesday at 7 pm at St. Peter’s by-the-Lake. This is a very important opportunity to learn about how awareness meets action to end human trafficking. 
We also have have Jon Teich visiting our club this Wednesday morning at 7:30 am to teach us more about the Rotary Foundation and how it transforms our “gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.”

Thank you again for the gift of who you are and what you do. I appreciate each of you and look forward to seeing you this week.

Many Thanks,
Trudie

We are so grateful to announce that Denver/Lake Norman Rotary will once again support the USO in their Holiday for Troops Campaign.

Our own Jim Minor, will be collecting donations throughout November for the 2025 “Helmet Fund.”  

Our club raised $1200 last year for this worthy cause.

The USO sends their sincere thanks to every Rotarian for their enduring support of this fabulous initiative.
