What a remarkable and unforgettable 12 months it's been serving as President of the Rotary Club of Fort Worth.

We had to master Zoom in record time.

We focused on meaningful conversations on sensitive topics like religion, law enforcement, supporting our communities of color, and enhancing minority-owned businesses...and we did it with civility, dignity and respect.

We granted funds to key nonprofits, recognized the great work of community heroes, and worked through COVID together.

This experience has left me better than when it found me. I have a renewed appreciation for serving the community with committed, wonderful people. The Rotary 4-way test (see photo) is one of the greatest gifts we can give future generations of leaders, business owners, and parents.

Best wishes to incoming President Courtney Garner Lewis as she officially takes the helm beginning tomorrow. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the year.
