In the fall of 1993, PDG John Germany sponsored me into the Rotary Club of Conroe, and what an experience these last sixteen years have been. Today, I am an immensely better person because of Rotary.
But like all experiences, events offer occasions to move on. Sometimes we recognize them, but choose to ignore them. For some time now, I have been trying to look the other way as I move into another phase of life. However, the reality is I must move on without Rotary. I do so with regret, knowing that I have not given Rotary as much as I have received.
To those in the Rotary Club of Conroe, the district and Rotarians I have met around the globe, especially those with which I have worked closely, I resign from Rotary knowing I have helped transition people into the tasks in which I have participated over the years and in doing so help raise the bar — as a result reducing the regret I feel.
To the close friends I have made though mutually cooperative and supportive deeds, I hope this decision will not change the rapport and feelings we share. I feel we have shared what for me is an experience of a lifetime.
It is therefore with immeasurable appreciation and thanks that I make this decision to resign from the Rotary Club of Conroe, effective September 21, 2009.
