Thank you for being here with us today.
Your participation means more than we can ever say.
The dollars that together we all will raise
Help our community in so many ways.

We provide grants to non-profits right here in town.
You all know that great needs continue to abound.
We help organizations who Help Kids Succeed
Together we all have a similar creed.

We fund initiatives to promote literacy,
Send Hunger Packing fights food insecurity.
Our Highway Cleanup helps prevent against blight
As Rotarians we try to do what is right.

In addition to our goal of Helping Kids Succeed
We also help veterans who are in need.
We promote peace, globally and at home.
Through Embracing Our Differences in Gallup Park you can roam.

The Rotarians in this room know what we do.
I am now extending this invitation to you
Who came here today to maybe just play
Or to hear the upcoming stars of Broadway.

Think about joining 1.2 million others,
Like-minded, service-oriented sisters and brothers.
The first step is easy, just come to a meeting.
Wednesdays at noon in the MI Union we’re eating.

We have interesting speakers who teach us knew things,
And oh, by the way, we do love to sing.
But if you don’t sing, we won’t make a fuss.
We’d just love to have you come by and join us.

Again, thank you for being here with us today.
Your participation means more than we can ever say.
The dollars that together we all will raise
Help our community in so many ways.
