President's Pen - March 2014

We are well into March and actually getting a “breather” right now, after a very active January and February. Enjoy it while we can!
First, we want to once again wish Patrick well in his move to Nashville and new job. He arrived just in time for an ice storm, but like the rest of us, spring has to be just around the corner now. And more on Patrick…a little birdie told me he and Laura are getting married soon, so Congratulations to both! If he was still with us, we’d make him donate to our CART fund.
We are very excited to induct two new members this month. Please join me in welcoming Lisa Hayes, sponsored by Sidney Jones, and Tony Falgiani, a transfer sponsored by Steve Miller, into our club tomorrow! We are always looking for new members, new ideas and new workers.
For Literacy Month (March), our District is requesting NEW books to help set-up a school in Charleston that does not have a library. Any new children’s book will be a great addition, ages 0 – 14. If you wish to donate a book, please bring it this week or next Wednesday (March 26); either Steve Tilton or Brooks Williams will take them to the District Conference in Charleston.
Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is offering Part 1 of their 3 part leadership series on Saturday, May 3rd at our Rotary Community Center. Part 1 covers what being a Rotarian means. This is a great opportunity for any new or established Rotarian to participate and learn more. Please let me know if you are interested.
Right around the corner, coming soon, is the Bluffton Village Festival. Mike Covert is chairing the event this year and has been busying getting his committee organized and working hard on details. The festival this year is on Saturday, May 10…always, the weekend of Mother’s Day. Please mark your calendars for a fun day, hard work and a major fund-raiser for our club!
Thanks again to you all for your support as interim president, filling in for Patrick! After running into past District Governor Ed Duryea last weekend, I found out I am a “recycled” President! Well, we do strive to be GREEN now.
Top of the day to you….stay green for March.
Yours in Rotary,
Dot Jeger
