2026-2027 Rotary Club of Tucson Goals

My Fellow Rotarians:

 

First, I would like you know I consider it an honor and a privilege to have been chosen to be your president. I sincerely consider each of you all family, and I will do my very best to make this year fun, meaningful, interesting, and worthy of the time you invest here. With all of the fantastic club president’s we’ve had over the years, I welcome you to Rotary year 2026-2027. This is a very special year for our wonderful country. We all celebrate 250 years as the United States of America this very week, and I cannot think of a better group of people to celebrate it with. We also celebrate Rotary International in its 121^st year of providing “service above self” while at the same time welcoming the city of Tucson join us while we celebrate our club, The Rotary Club of Tucson, in its 105^th year working to make Tucson and the world a better place for everyone.

 

Looking back on 2025-2026 we all are big fans of Dot Kret and enjoy all that she was able to achieve with our helping hands. Her Board of Past President Kurtis Dawson, Michael Guymon, Diana Madaras, Jason Grabosch, Brittany Battle, Alan Schrope, and Jonathan Walkup, SAA Dan Kalm, Secretary extraordinaire Jennifer Delaney, and Treasurer Glenn Ewing have not only kept us on solid ground but also have set the bar high. Jenn and Glenn are back as well as Britt, Alan, and Jonathan, and I look forward to them working with our new board members SAA Drea Williams, Cami Evans, Bill Tong, and Tom Moulton. I commend our club on choosing a great group of people that I am sure will work alongside each other to make our club even better.

 

As we start this new Rotary year, I will ask each of you to help “Create Lasting Impact”. This is not only impact on Tucson and our world, but also within yourselves. Each piece of service you give this year will also have an impact on you. By creating lasting impact helping others, you will also feel the lasting impact within yourselves. YOU/WE can do amazing things for others, and I look forward to seeing the results.
