July 13, 2020 Re: President’s Message Dear Lewisville Noon Rotarians, It is my pleasure to extend you all a gracious and hearty welcome to the 2020-21 Rotary Year. Without question, I am also excited, humbled and proud to take the helm in helping guide this great club’s future as your newly appointed President for the 2020-21 term. Let me further take this opportunity to thank our immediate Past- President, John Kazor and his capable Board for the exceptional leadership and service they have provided us in such a difficult past year. As you know, we are currently in the midst of a global coronavirus pandemic crisis that few could have predicted the severity of pain and suffering it would present to our nation, business livelihoods, our families and also our Rotary Club. For months, we have now been quarantined in our homes adjusting to the new normal of commuting to our living rooms and joining a myriad of Zoom meetings. However, I am optimistic that this crisis may soon end for the better and provide us with opportunities for renewal and growth. Meanwhile, the health and safety of our members will remain my top priorities. Finally, the Rotary Theme this year is “Rotary Opens Opportunities” and one of my goals will be to focus on further strengthening our club by encouraging young Rotarians to consider becoming our club’s future leaders. We have a challenging year ahead of us and I look forward to what we can accomplish together in continuing the Lewisville Noon Rotary tradition of exceptional leadership and service. Again, thank you my fellow Rotarians for your trust and confidence in handing over your club to my and great Board members care for this year. William C. “Bill” Lawrence President, Lewisville Noon Rotary |
