A wonderful start to the week at Paramus Sunrise Rotary!

On Monday, February 2nd, we had the honor of welcoming our District Governor, Cindy Randina, to our club. Her visit brought inspiration, encouragement, and a renewed sense of purpose to our service work.

We were also delighted to have Jean Jadevaia, Assistant Governor, join us for this special meeting. Her presence and support added so much to the morning, and we truly appreciate her dedication to strengthening our club.

A highlight of the day was the swearing‑in of our newest member, Kevin Ryan. Moments like these remind us why Rotary matters—bringing people together to serve, lead, and uplift our community.

A heartfelt thank‑you to DG Cindy and AG Jean for spending their morning with us and for their continued support of our club’s mission. We look forward to building on the energy and ideas shared during their visit.

Service Above Self—always.

Today brought a beautiful moment of kindness that I wanted to share. Sophie visited Families for Families in Wyckoff and delivered the donations that Yuko so generously contributed. Acts like this truly make a difference for families in our community.

A heartfelt thank‑you to Yuko for her generosity, and to Sophie for delivering everything with such care. Grateful for people who quietly spread goodness.
