President’s Message
Rotarians,
Keep those photos coming. As I said during the meeting, I think it would be fun to see you all doing great things worldwide with our Rotary Flag. I want to share them each week here in the eblast, but I also would like to post them on our website.
Last week I shared Pat Force, President, and CEO of Valley Credit Union, exchanging flags during a Rotary trip to Guatemala.
This week Ryan Collier, the big cheese at Collier Law, shared some pictures of his last trip to the San Juan Islands as a member of the International Fellowship of Yachting Rotarians. (Who knew?) Ryan joined IFYR through the Seattle Rotary Mariners chapter, the nearest to Salem. They are connected to the Rotary Club that meets at the Seattle Yacht Club. Holly and Ryan fly the “colors” whenever they are cruising the San Juans or the Canadian Gulf Islands. Way to go, Ryan, I love the Rotary spirit.
Who can top Ryan this week? I want to see your Rotary Flag pictures. If you would like a club flag, come and see me after a meeting.
Have a great week, and see you Wednesday.
