Dear Fellow Rotarians:

Soooo...shortly before my year as president started, I had the thought that I’d like my year to be a little different, a little quirky, a little “outside of the box.” To me, this meant running around with a basket to collect the weekly fines, or playing a pre-meeting music list that oftentimes would make sense to no one but me, or giving away awesome Rotary socks to members who achieve certain goals. These were the thoughts I had in how I can make my year different! Never did I ever think my year would be different by a global pandemic leading to the need for our face-to-face meetings to be cancelled!

Since our last meeting at the Lancaster Country Club, we have been having “virtual Rotary gatherings” at our normal meeting time on Mondays. I am thrilled with the increase in turnout we’ve had for these! They’re not the same as what we’re all used to, but they have enabled us to stay a little connected during the last couple of months. Since larger gatherings are still not appropriate, the plan, as of right now, is that we will continue to hold the virtual gatherings through June. If you have not received the zoom invite to the meetings, please reach out to Carrie Roberts to make sure your desired email is what we have in Clubrunner. Carrie’s email is crossroberts@columbus.rr.com.

We do not know what meetings will look like down the road, but we do know that keeping our members engaged with all of the amazing things Rotary does is critical. As the gavel passes from me to President Elect Matt, we and the Rotary Board will continue to think creatively on ways to stay connected.

While my year as President has not necessarily gone completely as planned, I will say that this past year has been one of the most special times of my life. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve as your President, and I look forward to assisting our future presidents - Matt, Laura, Jamie, and those who follow them - in any way that I can.

The last few months have presented challenges for all of us; however, the steps taken today will lead to a better and brighter tomorrow. Never lose sight of what being a Rotarian means...we are all in this together, and together we see a world where people unite to take action and create lasting change!

Peace and love to all of you!

Yours in Rotary,

Vic Christopher
President, 2019/2020
