Youth Exchange Potluck in Santa Fe

Michele and I had a blast with the Youth Exchange in Santa Fe.  A potluck social was held with members of the Santa Fe Rotarians joined by the Youth Exchange Committee and host families.  We had the opportunity to get to know each other and share Rotary fellowship.  The youngsters were in Santa Fe visiting the Legislature and a day of snow skiing.  Thank you to all for allowing us to join you!

Alamogordo Interact Club

I had the opportunity to visit with the Alamogordo Interact club and had such a wonderful time.  These young people are energetic and getting so much done in their community.  We visited about the various projects they are working on and how we can assist anyway we can.  I left the meeting excited knowing the future of Rotary is in their hands.  This club will continue to grow because of their leadership and vision.

A great time was had by all as the Rotary Club of Albuquerque Sandia welcomed Michele and I during their Christmas celebration.  What an exciting club that is focused with many projects going on in their community and internationally.  President Fofo Voltaire-Herrick has set some ambitious goals for the club and after seeing and hearing what they are doing, I have no doubt they will achieve all the goals.  Thank you Rotary Club of Albuquerque Sandia for the warm welcome and keep up the great work!

Rotary Club of Albuquerque Del Sol

It was such a good feeling to be back at my home club!  I have missed everyone and it was great to see all who were there.  The Rotary Club of Albuquerque Del Sol has been so supportive during my year as District Governor and I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You"!  The club holds an annual Governor's Ball that raises a lot of money for various charities and helps support the Foundation.  This club is so active in the community. President Steve Reynolds has been a friend of mine for many years and is doing a wonderful job moving this club forward!  Thank you Rotary Club of Albuquerque Del Sol for all you do and keep it going!
