As I reflect on my Rotary journey which started in 2008 I am reminded how grateful that I have been to be part of this Rotary family. Looking back at the nearly 20 years of being in Rotary I am reminded of the unique magic of Rotary. It's a kind of magic woven through the commitment and efforts of every Rotarian in our club. 
 
Each project we undertake, each family we touch, brings about a transformation not only in those we help but in ourselves as well. Through the magic of Rotary, we see firsthand how health initiatives extend lives, how economic development uplifts entire communities, how our commitment to education opens doors for youth to thrive, and how our global humanitarian efforts unite our club in service above self.
 
To learn more about what it means to be a member of our great community, I invite you to attend one of our meetings. We convene every Thursday afternoon for our weekly lunch meetings where we discuss topics relevant to our efforts and frequently feature key-note speakers to present and share their ideas. Whether you're an active Rotarian, a prospective speaker, or just an interested individual, I hope to see you soon.
 
Yours in Rotary,
 
 
 
Tom Forsythe 
President, El Segundo Rotary Club
