Port Washington-Saukville Rotary - A Message from the Club President

It is with great pride and honor that I serve my year as President of the Port Washington-Saukville Rotary Club.

The Rotary International theme for the year 2009-2010 is “The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands”. All Rotary Clubs are encouraged to establish a reasonable growth plan and to pay special attention to service projects which meet the greatest need and provide the greatest benefit. Continued focus on Water, Health, Hunger and Literacy projects is encouraged. Water should be the first priority because it is a necessity of life for every man, woman, and child.

One goal I have for our club this year is to incorporate the “Four-Way Test” into our weekly meetings and encourage all our members to adopt the test in their daily personal and professional lives.

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

We have been fortunate in the last few years to have some outstanding new members join our club. We need to continue to actively recruit new members to our great organization. With new members come new ideas of how the Port Washington-Saukville Rotary Club can better serve our community.

The Rotary Board members are always open to NEW ideas of how we can continue to strengthen our club & make it even better than it already is.

Let’s continue to work for the betterment of Rotary and our community.

Yours in Rotary,

Dawn Wagner
