Not goodbye,
but good work
S pages of Rotary magazine this
6 peaking to you through the

past year has brought me so
much joy. I have especially
enjoyed sharing the incredible
stories of the wonderful people Nick and I
have met on the Imagine Impact Tour.
From Patzún in the mountainous
western highlands of Guatemala to a small
village outside of Lusaka, Zambia, we have
been greeted by countless people who
imagine and work toward a better world.
We were inspired by teachers who
8 9 imagine a better education for girls and
boys facing gender-based violence, by
Rotaractors in a refugee settlement who
created a flour mill to provide for their
families in a critical food shortage, and by
brave polio workers who push tirelessly
to reach every last child.
All of us have imagined Rotary this
year. This means looking past what we
are today and reaching for what we could
be tomorrow. We imagine a Rotary that
will continue to tell our stories in impact-
ful ways, work to reduce our carbon
footprint, and focus on diversity, equity,
and inclusion efforts that lift every voice
in our organization and beyond.
Nick and I want to thank all of you for
10 the moments we’ve shared and for your
efforts to Imagine Rotary. And now, we
look forward to continuing these efforts
