Thank you for joining us today as we install your new Rotary Club president. It’s more than just a ceremony; it’s a celebration of leadership, dedication, and a commitment to service. Taking on the role of president is a big responsibility that requires vision, dedication, and a true passion for making a difference in our communities, across the globe and in ourselves.
 
Ed you’ve been chosen for one of Rotary's most prestigious roles: President of your Rotary Club. This selection by your fellow members reflects their trust in your leadership. If you are willing to accept this responsibility, then I will ask that you raise your right hand and repeat after me:

We’re confident in your ability to lead us forward. Congratulations, and welcome to your new role as president!
