My name is David Smith, and it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the Rotary club of Altadena. From now to June 30, 2010, it is my honor to be president of this mighty club -- A club made up of individuals who believe in making our community and the world a better place through Service above Self.

Rotary has many avenues of service: running projects both locally and internationally -- Ranging from education to eradicating hunger, poverty and let us not forget the big one: polio.

So, if you think you can make a difference, start by coming to our lunch meeting and joining the over one million Rotarians around the world enjoying Service above Self. We might be the difference you’re looking for.
