Welcome from President Denise Stein!   

We live in one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. Lake Tahoe reminds us every single day that we protect matters - and that how we live, serve and lead has a lasting impact on the world around us. As your incoming President, my vision for this year is rooting in one word: sustainability.
 
Sustainability in how we care for our stunning natural environment. Sustainability in how we build a club that attracts and retains engaged, passionate members. Sustainability in how we serve our Incline Village community in ways that create lasting change, not just momentary good.
 
Rotary has always believed in Service Above Self - and I believe that spirit is never more powerful than when it is grounded in stewardship of the people, places and community we love. This year we will laugh together, serve together and leave things better than we found them - one meeting, one project, one act of service at a time.
 
I am honored to lead this remarkable club and I invite you to lean in, show up and help us make this a year to remember.
With gratitude and excitement, 
Denise Stein
