July 1, 2011, is a new beginning with 2011-12 President Linda Endicott and her officers. Lets be there to help mark this special occasion!
Why does Rotary "fire" every one of its executives every year? Rotary does this to insure that it doesn't become stale and predictable, and to infuse new ideas and new life into the organization. In a larger sense it is Rotary's way of saying we trust these new officers, because we only pick the very best to be members to begin with, and we train them well. So it has been from the beginning, August 1, 1919-June30, 1920, with Ike Hockwald, and has continued through this year, July 1, 2010- June 30, 2011, with Yours Truly in charge.
Just reading the names of all the past Marshall club presidents is like reading the Who's, Who of Marshall. But, they all got fired (some twice) and the Rotary Club of Marshall is better for it.
