Welcome to our new blog, ‘The Prez Says’
Hello and welcome to The Prez Says, our new Rotary Club of Westerville blog!
We’ll use the blog to share club news and updates with members, as well as to communicate about the great service work we do with the larger Westerville community.
Speaking of club news, we had a GREAT program at our weekly luncheon Thursday, Aug. 3, with Dr Greg Bixler, CEO of Design Outreach, telling us how we are changing lives by investing our grant money in Life Pumps.
The Life Pumps bring incredible positive change to areas of the world where water is life-threateningly scarce, providing a dependable and easy to access source of clean drinking water.
He was so interesting, we ran out of time so I think the club needs to invite him back! Not only was our program fascinating, our entire meeting had an awesome energy to it!
From the music playing when members walked into the Villa, to our Rotary Raffle, to the installation of a new member, Christina Romanelli, we were rockin!
Pastor Jim really brought all of us full circle as he talked about the importance of the past, present and future of our Westerville Rotary Club.
Sergeant-at-Arms Dawn kept the members laughing as she collected all kinds of fines – birthday bucks, happy bucks, as well as fines for not taking a stint on the Food Trailer, and more.
Join us next week for another great meeting at Villa Milano. This Prez will be out of town but Justin – Prez to Be – will be at the podium!
Lisa Janszen is 2017-18 President of the Rotary Club of Westerville.
