To my Rotarian Friends, and Friends of Rotary 

I’m so proud to be a Rotarian. So proud to be connected to such a positive force for good in the world. So proud to be the president of the Rotary Club of Hanover.
I have always wanted to help others. Connecting with Rotary has enabled me to do just that. Think about it for a moment: we are a network of 1.2 million friends, neighbors, business associates and civic leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities, to Serve Humanity through Rotary – locally, regionally. and internationally.

While much of our charitable giving now is handled by our foundation, the club itself also supports a number of local and regional projects.

• This will be our last payment to fulfill our commitment of $25,000 to the Hanover Regional Aquatic Centre
• This year will be out first Poor Boys/Girls Luncheon to raise money for Grey/Bruce Hospice and Chapman House.
• We currently are supporting the New Generations Service Exchange Program by hosting a young lady from Madrid Spain for 3 months.
• We have ran our 4^th annual “Walk-A-Mile in Her Shoes” march and raised over $8,000 this past Father’s Day weekend.
• Each Year we give 2 deserving students going on to further education a $1,000 Bursary.

There are other projects as well … but you get the point. We are doing an awful lot of good – locally, regionally, and internationally – and we are having an awful lot of fun doing it. Thanks to ALL of you.

It’s an honor to serve as president of the Rotary Club of Hanover. I am proud to have worked with all of you to help others in such a big way this year. I look forward to doing even more during the year ahead.

Thank you!
Jeff Schaus
President, 2018-19
