Dear E-Club of Houston Rotarians,
 
Happy New Rotary Year! It is the first day of our Rotary year, and the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of Rotarians worldwide. As president of our club, I invite you to write our chapter together. Let us all take some time and think about what we want to write on this new chapter. It is the continuation of the great work many leaders have done before us, and a strong bridge that will connect us to a bright future.
Please think about what we want others to read later. What stories we want to share with the world. What footprints we will leave behind for others to follow. Our story will not need to be a magnificent work of literature, but a simple story. A story that creates a positive impact in the world can be written little by little, everyday. With persistent group effort it will be a story that changes lives.
Thank you for the trust you have put in me. I am proud of our E-Club and I am proud of you to be in Rotary. I am honored that you selected me to lead our club during this New Year. I will serve our club and serve Rotary by offering my very best. I need each one of you to contribute and support our club, and together we will complete the chapter that will talk about the priceless work Rotarians do. A work that passes the highest ethical standards, as of the things Rotarians say and do they must ask: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
When we put the final period in this chapter a year from now, we will have made our Rotary E-club even more successful, we will have gained better skills, we will be better in our professions and in our lives, and we will have served humanity, which I believe it’s the purpose of all humans in this world. Serving others is a guaranteed source of happiness!
 
Thank you and let’s get to work!
