Gratitude, Growth, and Giving Back As we reflect on the meaningful moments of 2024, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Maumee Bay Brewing Company for their generous donation, empowering Rotaract to purchase health and beauty supplies. With their support, we packed 20 care bags filled with encouragement and essentials to be donated to the YWCA for women in need. Thank you Maumee Bay Brewing Company, for partnering with us to make a positive impact in our community! This time of year reminds us to pause and reflect—on growth, progress, and the connections that shape us. My word for 2024 has been LEARN, and I’m incredibly grateful for the lessons, experiences, and opportunities Rotaract has provided, alongside an incredible Board and inspiring members like you. As we juggle holiday plans, events, and family time, I encourage everyone to celebrate their accomplishments and set intentions for 2025. Let’s end this year on a high note and look ahead with hope and purpose. Let’s finish 2024 with gratitude in our hearts and excitement for what’s ahead. I look forward to other fun and exciting upcoming events. Happy Holidays and best wishes for a joyful New Year! - Alex Huffaker
