Huang chose Light Up Rotary as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucius who said: "It is better to light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness." Mary Lou has taken this theme and established a number of goals.
“I hope that members will not only reflect on the history and successes of our great club, but look ahead to see where we can build on these successes,” she says. “We want a healthy club that focuses on new opportunities for fellowship, fun, service and fundraising. This year, I want our membership to celebrate Rotary. We believe in what Rotary stands for and value what we can contribute.”
