Welcome Message from DG Kristine Redko
Quick…shut your eyes, think of your favorite song, and hum it to yourself. How does it make you feel? Happy? Sentimental? Excited? Ready to get up and dance? Or hold someone tight and slow dance?
Now, open your eyes and think of Rotary and what it means to you. I hope that many of the same emotions flood your mind and your heart. That’s the power of music, and the power of Rotary. There’s an internal “walk up song” for every person, every Club and each beautifully unique Rotarian, Rotaractor, Interactor and Rotary partner. We just need to take a moment to find that song in our hearts and play it as we go about the amazing work we do to serve our communities, each other and all global citizens.
