President’s Message

2011-2012

Dear Members and Friends,

I am honored to serve as President of the Rotary Club of Brooksville this year. The purpose of our Club is to bring together professional and business leaders to provide humanitarian service, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. The Rotary motto "Service Above Self"..

Each year, the new Rotary International President gives the year a theme.  The 2011-12 RI President, Kalyan Banerjee, has chosen the theme “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity”.  I know that our club will wholeheartedly “embrace” its meaning.  We will work toward making our community and the world a better and happier place by reaching within ourselves to help others, with our time, energy and compassion.

It’s going to be quite an ambitious year for our club.  We have an aggressive fundraising goal, and I know our club looks forward to the challenge.  The collective and individual dedication of our membership will find creative ways to make the challenge fun, and I feel fortunate to be a part of it. 

To our members, our families, our diverse and interesting speakers, our guests, our donors – those we know well and those we hope to know better, our fellow Rotary clubs and our many, many friends - thank you one and all.  Each one of us working together is what makes this club so special and fun!

I invite you to explore this site and find out more about our organization. Rotary is a great way to get involved, meet new friends, participate in community and global projects and have some fun. Better yet, join us at our next meeting and experience Rotary at its best!

Yours in Rotary,

Donald E Scaglione

President 2011 - 2012

Rotary Club of Brooksville 

PS: I challenge every Rotarian and each of our members to live by our motto of “service above self” and our Four Way Test:

Is it the TRUTH?

Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
