As my family and I prepare for a season of celebrations together I reflect on how truly blessed we are.  We have each other.  We have a warm home, food, clothing, and, most importantly; we have good health and access to quality healthcare. 
 
December is Disease Prevention and Treatment Month.  Learn how Rotary is fighting disease at https://www.rotary.org/en/our-causes/fighting-disease.  Even cheap cellphones in the hands of health workers is an important tool in the effort to eradicate several diseases. “Traditional paper reporting was misleading our program,” says Boniface Igomu, program coordinator of Rotary’s Nigeria PolioPlus Committee. https://www.rotary.org/en/cellphones-help-disease-eradication 
 
Don't miss the upcoming deadlines and mark your calendars for some exciting future events.
One of the real joys this holiday season is the opportunity to say thank you and wish you the very best for the new year. Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a happy healthy holiday season! 
  
If I can be of service to you or your club please feel free to contact me.
