Presidents Comments
Sonny Buoncervello
Dear Fellow Club Members,
As we move toward the beginning of our 2014-2015 Rotary Year, I’m anticipating and
excited for our incoming President, Marti, and her LBV Rotary Boards leadership. We
are positioned perfectly to have an amazing year and I personally can’t wait to see the
exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
This past month I am proud to report that Rotary LBV had a significant presence at
Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI), and we have already heard from several members interested in attending the next
RLI event on March 29th, 2014. Don’t be left out, sign up now to participate in one of Rotary’s greatest educational
programs which fosters Rotary knowledge and leadership skills. RLI courses are motivating and will inspire you to
be enthusiastic, creative and a dedicated Rotarian.
There are always great things happening to report, but this month I have a different message. I would like to take this
opportunity and space to emphasize the dire need of homeless children in our community. Over 1.6 million kids in
America are homeless. That is 1 out of 5 kids! Today, 1 out of 100 homeless children in the United States resides in
Osceola County! Governor Pete Edwards and the 6 Rotary Clubs Of Osceola County have included us as Club 7
in a Rotary Effort To Fight Against The Homeless In Osceola County. Stand with me in the coming months to
support this powerful endeavor, I will have more information to come. Our Osceola Rotary neighbors need our help
participating in the Osceola Rotary Hunger Project which continues to support our school system in supplying free
breakfast & lunch to school-age children, expands after-school feeding projects (Green Bag Project), and
coordinate with all food banks.
Yours in service,
Sonny
