Welcome to the Rotary Club of New Braunfels!
This year, as we embrace the theme "The Magic of Rotary," I am filled with gratitude for being part of such an active and impactful club. Our collective efforts have made a significant difference in our community, and it’s truly inspiring to witness the dedication and passion each member brings.
We have accomplished so much together, from our successful fundraising events to our community service projects that have touched many lives. Looking ahead, I am excited about the plans we have in store and confident that we will continue to make a positive impact and build better relationships.
Thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm. It is because of each of you that the magic of Rotary continues to thrive. Let’s make this year another remarkable chapter in our club’s history.
Yours in Rotary,
Lindsay N. Haas
