I feel so fortunate to finally begin my term as this club's president. Having such an amazing group of people, accomplishing such amazing things and doing it so unselfishly is extremely inspiring.  But before I elaborate on any of my plans for the upcoming year, I need to acknowledge what an unbelievable job Mark and his team did this year.  

The energy around this club is infectious and all the momentum created makes it very easy for me to come in and just try not to screw things up.  Every single committee exceeded expectations and the board did a fabulous job of staying on plan and this club made money for the first time in a long time.  All this occurred while many other clubs struggled to stay afloat. 

My participation in district meetings and PETS Ohio made me realize that you can't take this for granted. We really are an amazing club.  Our members engagement is unique and I hope everyone becomes inspired to make this the best year ever! 

Thank you to each and every member of this club for allowing me to take on this presidency. 

Thanks again Mark for doing such a fantastic job and encouraging me to take on this endeavor.  Also, thanks for being such a good sport.  For those who missed the roast or this week's meeting, below is one more glorious look at the history of Mark Krohn! 

Happy 4th of July.  I hope you all have great plans for the weekend! 

Yours in Akron Rotary,

Thanks,
Bill Manby, Jr. ChFC, AEP
