 Welcome
to the 2012 Rotary year. I would like to invite
you to visit The Rotary Club of Windermere.
If you are interested in the Rotary philosophy
of
“Service Above Self,” networking with other
professionals, serving the community, making
great social contacts, participating in the
extraordinary work of the worldwide association
that is Rotary International, or if it just time
to give back … this is the club for you.
The club meets every Tuesday morning at 6:54 AM
at the very center of Windermere, in the
historic Town Hall. The coffee is hot, the
breakfast is exemplary and the fellowship is
second to none.
Our Club is made up of a unique, diverse and
dedicated group who live the Rotary motto,
“Service Above Self.”
Windermere Rotary members share a commitment to
support this year’s international Rotary theme
of
“Peace
Through Service,” by applying their
individual strengths, creativity and combined
efforts to the needs of the club, community and
the world. We do this in many ways; the most
visible is engaging in fundraisers, the proceeds
of which go to a selection of charities,
projects and international endeavors, including
the Habitat for Humanity
Home at
Last project and the Rotary International
End Polio
Now effort.
The first major fundraising event takes place
November 15, 2012. Our
Lobster,
Laughter & Lend a Hand dinner event
has become a fixture on the fall “must attend”
calendar. The spring
Festival
Among the Lakes brings thousands to
the shores of Big Lake Down in Windermere for
three fun days of music, food and entertainment.
Beyond those two major projects are many small
but significant hands-on endeavors that keep us
happily working together for the benefit of
others.
In our 44th year, the Rotary Club of
Windermere is one of 49 clubs (and growing) in
Rotary District 6980 of Central Florida. We are
proud to say that, after all this time, we are
outstanding in this association of great
Rotarians, and getting better.
 We
do not do this alone. Appreciation goes to
outstanding partners, sponsors and community
members that work with us and believe in what we
do.
Come take a look. Ask for me when you come to
visit!
Stephen A. Fasen
President 2012-2013
