Message from the President Mae Heagerty-Matos
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
As we begin this new Rotary year, we are reminded that our greatest strength lies not only in what we do, but in the lasting impact we create through service, leadership, and fellowship.
Every project we undertake, every hand we extend, and every life we touch has the potential to create positive change that reaches far beyond today. Whether we are supporting our local community, promoting education, protecting the environment, or contributing to global initiatives, our collective efforts leave a legacy that inspires future generations.
This year, I encourage each of us to look for opportunities to serve with purpose and passion. Let us strengthen our club through meaningful fellowship, welcome new members who share our commitment to service, and empower one another to lead with integrity and compassion.
Together, we can transform ideas into action, challenges into opportunities, and small acts of kindness into lasting change. Rotary's magic is not found in a single moment—it is found in the enduring difference we make in the lives of others.
Thank you for your dedication, generosity, and unwavering commitment to Service Above Self. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we continue to create lasting impact in our community and beyond.
Yours in Rotary Service,
Mae
Mae Heagerty-Matos
President 2026-2027
