GREETINGS FROM PRESIDENT AMIR
 
Good day AW Rotarians. Let me take this opportunity to wish all Rotarians,  especially AW Rotarians,  a blessed independence Day, 4th of July. 
 
Independence Day brings forth a new hope to make our tomorrows most beautiful and cherished.  Also strengthen our resolve to serve those who are less fortunate.  And  as we celebrate this holiday, please keep in your prayers all Rotarians who all are struggling with health issue and ask God for their speedy recovery.
 
We would like to thank Ron, Jeff and Len for their team approach conducting the duties of  Sergeant-at-Arms.
 
Please be sure to cheer the U.S.A. women soccer team this Sunday when they play at the World Cup FINAL.
          GO USA,      GO USA,      GO USA
Wishing everyone a very safe and happy 4th of July.     Amir
