As I conclude my year as President of our great Club, one word comes to mind:  WOW.

 What a great year and for that I thank you all!  Special thanks to all my fellow Club members who have served in this position before.  As Past Presidents, you set the course for success that I hope we were able to stay on this last year. Thanks to our Board for all the great support and thanks to all of our members for what you each individually contributed.  Together we continued our growth this last year in so many ways. 

 We continued to grow our membership numbers, which I believe is the true testament of what our Club has to offer.  We continued to get to know one another and learn that as diverse as we are, we still have a lot in common, even beyond Rotary.  We continued to appreciate one another, our families, our respective careers, our trials and tribulations, and our uniqueness.  Along the way, we jointly celebrated our successes.  We continued to adhere to the great values of Rotary by being active, by being of service to others, and by doing our part to make our community better.  We continued to volunteer and contribute to those less fortunate than us.  We continued to look for ways to make our Club better and to run more efficiency.  We continued to be recognized by others for how special our Club is and what it has accomplished.  We continued to learn some amazing things about our community and the world we live in and how truly lucky and blessed we are.  In short, we had a pretty darn good year!

 The continued growth and success that we have had this last year has everything to do with each of you and your commitment to make our Club better.  I got to steer the boat this year, but I had some fantastic folks pulling the oars who made my job easy.  And, as I step back and grab an oar again, I know that you will continue to support Teresa this next year as she takes over at the helm and leads us forward. She will do an amazing job.  

I hope that you are as proud of the Boise Centennial Rotary Club as I am.   Thank you and cheers to you all!  Jim

Thank you Doug Ooley for stepping up to be our new club representative for the GBRF!
