Rotary Club of Studio City/Sherman Oaks - New President's Vision Statement. New club president, Lisa Peacock shares her inspiring vision statement for her term.

New club president, Lisa Peacock shares her inspiring vision statement for her term.

"As I sat at the opening night of PETS a young woman got onstage and recounted the effect that Rotary has had on her life. She went from a 9-year-old drug dealer to a homeless 11-year-old living under a 110 overpass to an emancipated 13 year old to a high school graduate and an Ambassadorial Scholar. Because of Rotary she has dedicated her life to solving the water problems of underdeveloped countries.

After this presentation I sat and marveled in the idea that I had a part in her success. We matter. Every time we plan a program, help with a fundraiser, or work with a service program we are changing lives. My vision is to see every member of our club choose an area of to dedicate a portion of their time this year.

Fundraising- Really being excited and empowered to work as a united team on the Art Show. Without all of us this becomes a burden on a few and they deserve our help with out having to ask.

By focusing on these three areas I hope to create a cohesive sense of family within Rotary and a greater impact on our community.

Meeting Time: Our meetings will start promptly at 12:20 please enter quietly if you are late. We will end promptly at 1:30.

I look forward to getting to know every member better this year and truly making Rotary something that we can not stop talking about!"
