I cannot begin this letter without saying first that through Rotary we can help the people of our world heal from such great tragedies we are witnessing. We have the power to help others and show our deep care for so many hurting right now in so many ways through our acts of service. Thank you for what you are doing.
May has arrived and I am astounded at how fast this year has gone! We have now finished our District Conference where we really celebrated the idea of Service! That is what we are all about! Keep Serving to Change Lives in your communities and world!
Hello and welcome to April! We are now in the last quarter of our year and there is a lot coming up! We are still working to Serve To Change Lives, our theme this year! We are working hard on three initiatives, 1) Each Club Host a Rotary Day of Service, 2.) Grow Rotary! Also, work to retain the members that you have, 3.) Empower Girls by incorporating this initiative into a service project or a speaker. A speaker to educate your members on Human Trafficking would start a great discussion.
Things are moving along so fast, we are already getting ready for Show Me Rotary President-Elect and President-Nominee Training March 25 and 26. See Showmerotary.org to get registered. It is very important to attend these trainings if you are in these positions for your club. See you there!
Here we go into February, already! I hope everyone is staying healthy and enjoying 2022 so far! I am still doing official club visits and if you have not seen me yet, you will! With my full-time job, I am spacing out my visits and will still visit clubs until the end of my term.
We have 6 months to finish this Rotary year big! In January, we focus on vocations, one of Rotary’s founding principles. We are asked to use our vocation, no matter what it is, to do good in the world. SERVE TO CHANGE LIVES!
Welcome to Public Health month in Rotary! We are experts dealing with Public Health, aren’t we? Most of us have dealt with this one area of focus, (Disease Prevention and Treatment) through our many service projects.
It’s the end of World Polio Month, but not the end of Rotary’s efforts to eradicate the disease.
And just like that, it’s October. Is it just me, or do the days seem to fly by? It seems like we just celebrated Independence Day, but soon it will be Halloween. In the meantime, here is your October newsletter. I hope you enjoy reading about the happenings in our district and various clubs.
Welcome to September! It is hard to believe that it has already been two months since I was installed as your Governor! It has been a great few months.
