I am honoured to take on the position of President of such a vibrant, welcoming and active club. I’m also a bit nervous about trying to fill the very big shoes of now Past President Kerry. As you know, Kerry led us in an amazing year of accomplishments.
The Theme of Rotary International this year is “The Magic of Rotary”. In every corner of the globe, Rotary brings the magic of hope, compassion, and change. With each project, each act of kindness, we unleash the power of Rotary to create lasting impact and transform lives.
But as we know, magic is not waving a wand, but is the result of hard work, excellent planning, skill and determination. And those qualities sum up
Rotarians.
This is the point where I’m supposed to talk about my goals as President of the club. Mostly we’ll want to continue on the path that Kerry and his predecessors have laid out: promotion of the Community Centre, support of the Warner Preserve, emphasizing protection and improvement of our environment, serving our community and continuing our international work.
At the Grand Bend Rotary Autumn Indulgence event held on Saturday, October 1 2022, President-Elect Kerry Teskey announced an extraordinary gift to the community from Peter and Esther Warner. Peter, a charter member of the Rotary Club, has served the Grand Bend community in many ways, including his role in founding the Rotary Trail. On receiving a standing ovation after the President-Elect’s announcement, Peter admits to feeling humbled by the response and outpouring of support for the project..png)
