July 2013 District Governor Newsletter

July-Newsletter-2013The Rotary Year 2013-2014 was ushered by a large Missouri National Guard aircraft delivering more than 20 tons of supplies, water filtration kits, etc to our District 6080 Panama Project partners in Panama. What a fantastic way to end the 2012-13 Rotary year and to start the 2013-2014. In the coming year we will complete what PDG Rita Eaterly envsioned and started, PDG Mark Pearce moved along, and in this coming year we will see the fruits of our labors to ENGAGE ROTARY, CHANGE LIVES.

Take a peak at the changes coming immediately to our Rotary Scholarship program. Have you contributed to The Rotary
Foundation (TRF), but not quite finished your $1,000 contribution to join the ranks of Paul Harris fellows around the world. District Foundation Chair, Raymond Plue is announcing our 2013-14 points matching program to help you get that Paul Harris pin. Take a look at what our Peace Scholar is discovering in his studies in Thailand.

In this issue we are featuring the work of the Rotary Club of Columbia and their accomplishments to support Plastic Surgeries in India. They truly have worked to Engage Rotary and are Changing Lives. Then check out our Rotary District 6080 Calendar of upcoming events and check for where you may find our new district governor visiting this month.
