President’s Message

Hello!

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Westlake Village Sunrise! Thank you for taking the time to visit our club and find out a little about us.

Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Rotary gives every member the opportunity to join in and make a difference, leaving our world just a little better than how we found it.

Ours is an endeavor that allows us to make positive change in the communities that we live in, our countries and our world. Local, national and global, you can really make a change if you want to help. Have a great idea? In Rotary you’ll find the support from fellow members to bring a good idea to fruition and make a difference.

But don’t take it from me. Maybe you’ve heard of some of these people:

I see Rotary International as a generating force of incalculable value,”-Franklin D. Roosevelt, former U.S. president and Rotarian.

“The first time I heard of Rotary it was a great consolation, and I said to myself, “Now they are beginning to do what is necessary for the future,”-Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Prize Winner and Rotarian.

“Rotary is one of the most important and credible nongovernmental organizations in the world,”- Mikhail S. Gorbachev, former president of the Soviet Union.

This Rotary Year will be headed up by Rotary International President Stephanie Urchic, who’s motto will be “The Magic of Rotary”. Why don’t you come and join us for a meeting or two, check us out and learn more about what you can do in Rotary, and what Rotary can do for you! And have a little magical fun in the meantime?

Yours in the spirit of Rotary,

Hays Englehart
President of the Rotary Club of Westlake Village Sunrise
