A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT PAUL

   I walked outside last night and saw my flag and this came to my mind....Several years ago we moved into a house which had a large flag pole in the front yard.  Over the years we replaced the flags as they wore out.  We currently have on the pole a very large American flag which floats in the wind with grace.

 

In the morning when I wake and look out the window, I catch a glimpse of my beautiful flag floating in the breeze.  It is so majestic, and of course, its lighted so day or night it's always very visible.

 

Why am I writing about my flag on this Christmas and Holiday Season?  The flag reminds me every day how fortunate we are to live in America and how fortunate we are to be able to celebrate the holidays whatever religion we may be and to share time with family, friends, co-workers and of course fellow Rotarians.

 

I wish all of you a very happy and joyful Holiday Season and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

Oh and by the way, when I drive down the final street to my home there it is our Stars and Stripes fluttering in the breeze and greeting me.

 

My very best regards to all Rotarians and your families.

 

Paul White, President
