President  2011-2012 

Dear Oakdale Rotarians: 

When I was selected as your club President for the 2011-2012 year, it was not without a small amount of trepidation and surely a large amount of apprehension, to answer your call! After my few "practice" meetings this past year, I'm rady to serve you and our club. 

Our Rotary clubs success this year, in all our chosen endeavors, will rest on the shoulders of all Oakdale Rotary club members. I look to you for support, commitment and involvement in all those activities and programs that "bring positive change to our community, our country and our world".

This years Rotary International President, Kalyan Banerjee of India has chosen the theme "reach within to embrace humanity". A fitting theme considering all that has occurred in our community, our country and our world this past year. Let us all "reach within" just a little deeper to make this "Rotary Year" our most successful ever! I know we can do it because we are Rotarians . . .

Service Above Self

Max Cowan, President

Oakdale Rotary Club

2011-2012
