Another Rotary year is upon us. Thank goodness because this past year was a rough one.
With a new beginning and new leadership, we are all striving to put this global pandemic behind us.
Rotary is a million-plus members strong worldwide looking to put “Service Above Self.”
Fulfilling that mission, and following the theme of this year’s District 6600 Governor Mary Aufdenkampe, “Serve to Change Lives,” is what we will put our focus and energy toward in 2021-2022.
The Lima Rotary Club is filled with leaders who are always looking to the future to make the Limaland community, this country and the world a better place. Since the club was founded in 1915 we have been a part of incredible projects that have made this community better for its citizens.
The newest project initiated by the club and funded through local dollars and a state grant is the Greater Lima Region Park and Amphitheater in downtown Lima. This will be a destination point for this region and multiple states for decades to come!! I am so excited that this project will start construction during my year and hopefully be completed in mid 2022.
The club is also involved in multiple other projects that include:
- Fall & spring blood clinics
- The Rotary Riverwalk
- Jay Begg Reverse Raffle
- Rex Perry Memorial Golf Outing to fund scholarships
- Salvation Army bell ringing
- Dictionary distribution to local schools
This club has also been successful in obtaining global grants to better the lives of residents in under developed countries by improving their water supply and upgrading their facilities.
As we look to bounce back from a difficult year and a half, the Lima Rotary Club is meeting in person and we welcome guests to join us at our Monday meetings at the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center in downtown Lima. We meet from 11:45 to 1pm.
We look forward to a safe and productive 2021-2022 Rotary year and making the entire world, and our small part of it, a better place to live.
