Message from the President

As we anticipate the changing colors and harvest of the fall we can also look forward to fall activities to include homecomings, various fall festivals and, of course, Halloween.  We are well into our Rotary year and I think we can be pleased with the harvest of so many good meeting programs, the addition of Larry Peery as a new member, the return of Kyle Elliot to active status and the continued success of our first ever youth exchange program.

On October the 8th our District Governor, Sherry Nielsen, will visit us.  Sherry is a very dynamic leader and I think we will all enjoy and appreciate the enthusiasm she brings to Rotary.  Please mark the date and plan on attending.  There is no doubt in my mind that she will be impressed with the quality of members and the good works that Fayette Rotarians do.

As the family of Rotary I hope all will be thinking of Jim and Helen Thogmorton and on another note offer congratulations to our newlywed Jim Steele and the arrival of a new son to Jessica and Billy Quint

Henry Graham, Terry Furstaneau and I enjoyed a good day at the 6080 District meeting held at Tan Tara on September 20th.  We increased our knowledge of the good works of the Foundation and what we can do to become more active in those programs.  We look forward to meeting with the board and discussing our further participation this year to include 1) application for another District Matching Grant, 2) seek an applicant for the Peace Studies & Ambassadorial program and 3) the possibility of becoming a Star club.  We’ll keep all informed as we work through the process.

Have a great month!!

Gale
