I am most honored and humbled to be elected President of the Pacesetters Club of Osooro 2023 – 2025. With the help and support of my Board members and fellow Club members, I will do my best to meet the challenge. Our club has been built on a strong leadership foundation, and I am fortunate to have a membership that is fully committed to the Pacesetters ideal of Service Above Self and continues to go the extra mile in building the club, and carrying out the many worthwhile projects that we undertake for the benefit of our community.
I would also like to congratulate each of the new Board members. Our fellow club members have shown their confidence in you and me by electing us to our respective positions, and I look forward to serving with you. I have already seen the energy, enthusiasm, and commitment that you bring to the Board. As I have always said, “Our compassion and our ability to open our hearts to those in need combined with our commitment to share our time, talent, and treasures with those who are less fortunate is what causes ordinary Pacesetters such as ourselves to do the extraordinary things that we do”. It’s what makes Pacesetters Club of Osooro so magical.
My theme, if we need one for our club, is I want us all to be proud of being a Pacesetter. We are a humanitarian Service Club full of volunteers of different education and career backgrounds. That makes for a terrific mixture of ideas and approaches to dealing within our community.
There are many needy people throughout our community whose only hope will come from our Club. Let us all be ready to make their lives better in any way that we can. As Pacesetters, it will not be good enough to give only what we have left over or what we can spare, but we must truly give of ourselves with new vigor in support of our ideals.
All of us in Pacesetters Club are looking to change the community. Why else would we be Pacesetters? We believe that our community can be happier, healthier, and more peaceful. We believe that the future can and will be better than the past. We are idealists, and we bring our ideals to life through our service.
Our work is at an important stage as I look to the future and to serving as your President.
I hope to serve you well with the support of each of you. Let us all reach within to embrace our humanity as we go forward.
Thank you,
