I am sure you have read somewhere by now that I want "my people" to move into roles/gaps and spaces in the Club voluntarily rather than rigidly just give them a job. I think people genuinely take ownership, find ways to improve, encourage others and deliver the best outcome for all involved. I might just be dreaming but I am convinced that I am not alone.
I am seeing some amazing growth in many members of the club that I have not seen before. I may be accused of not being that observant but if the Club keeps heading in this direction, we are destined to become a better Club than we have ever been.
The Rotary Club of Berwick has been involved in some wonderful projects over the last year. Tackled a bit of a Club restructure. Done stuff that was thought impossible. Enjoyed peace and harmony between members and found a place of belonging. I may be proud of my Club as the President, but everyone in our Club should be very proud of what we all have achieved together. It has been a bumpy ride to get to where we are today but we have a strong foundation to build on and we have plenty of opportunities to grow and diversify for years to come.
The best part is that I didn't do a thing to make that happen. Members stepped forward because they believe in what our Club and Rotary stand for and that is how it should be. Dream the dream with me and make it a reality.
Belief in Rotary, our Club and ourselves is a powerful thing! While we all work together, we will achieve great things and feel the satisfaction and trust that we are the best we can be. Kudos to my Rotary family.
