President’s Welcome Message 2025
Each year, we welcome a new President who sets the tone for our service, priorities, and goals. This Rotary Year, we inducted Matt Schottmiller, as our 2025-2026 President. His message outlines the vision for the year and how we’ll make an impact together.
For decades now, every message reflects on our club’s legacy, recognizes the work already underway, and introduces new initiatives that invite every member to participate. Whether you’re a longtime member or newly joined, this is your roadmap for how we’ll serve, lead, and grow as a community.
