I am truly honored to serve and welcome the opportunity. I want to thank the past President for the work he has done leading this Club through the pandemic, transitioning to zoom, and trying to provide services despite the lockdowns. I also want to thank the members of the Rotary Club of Potomac for their dedication to the course and for supporting each other. The meetings played a critical role in disrupting loneliness and boredom. I am honored to be in the presence of Barton J. Goldenberg, the former District Governor, District 7620, John Sever, family, and friends who have come for this occasion. The Rotary Club of Potomac has a distinguished history and long-standing members who believe in service above self. However, we need to strive for greater heights with membership commitments, as demonstrated by John Sever in the fight for the global eradication of  Polio. There are other notable visionaries of this Club that put service above self. There is indeed no club like the Rotary Club. With over 1.2 million members across the globe, Rotarians are making a difference in many communities all over the world.
Moving forward, my team of dedicated volunteers and I have a robust plan to increasing our membership, community presence, charity, and foundation. The Rotary Club of Potomac  - Strategic Plan reviewed by our board will be presented and implemented in the following months.
I want to thank my Executive and Committee Chairs for committing their time and effort to this Club and pledge to work with each of you to ensure we make this year exciting and impactful to our members and the community.
