Fellow Rotaractors of District 2450 and the world,
In few days, we will be closing together a very important chapter of our life. A controversial chapter called 2011, which taught each one of us lots of lessons; to some, happy ones and to others bitter ones. Whether good or bad, we learned that Change is inevitable and it will happen whether we like it or not. So our role as Rotaractors is to understand this change, cope with it and manage it when possible. Leaders of Change is what I really think you can all be, Changemakers as Rotary International President Kalyan Banarjee puts it.
My dear fellows, you need to believe in your inner strength and true humane spirit that can fill the world with goodwill and peace. This is not just another message for you to dream about a better world but an action-oriented call for each and everyone of you to "Be the Change". I have been around all the countries of our beloved District and I am proud to say that in each of these countries I met the leaders of tomorrow. And I am sure that when you will lead in the very near future, you will all be role models of good governance and professionalism. So keep equipping yourselves and your clubs with all the knowledge, skills, and most importantly true Rotaract spirit of fellowship. Share with the world through our social media outlets and website all the initiatives of change you're creating as they are looking up to you.
I am proud to be one of you. That's all I can say!
Enjoy a Merry Christmas and a happy and active new year...
