President’s Message

Happy Tuesday Rotarians!

Here we are, the first week of the 2026-27 year and we’re taking the show on the road. I’m very excited for the opportunity to get to know our community partners more by visiting them! Every other month, on the first Wednesday, we’ll be holding our weekly meeting “off site”, meeting and learning more from a community partner in their space.

I believe getting to know our community and in turn community needs, we will be better equipped to Create Lasting Change right here in the Willamette Valley. Let’s keep our ears, eyes, and hearts open to understanding how we, the Rotary Club of Salem, can be of service.

I’ll see you on Wednesday!
