April Governor's
Message:
What a great District Conference! Thanks to
those of you who attended. It was a busy weekend with a
little bit of Rotary and whole lot of fun. I will not
attempt to recap it, but I want to ask you now to make plans
to attend next year’s conference in Columbia. I can
guarantee that you will feel the magic of Rotary in the air.
Governor Elect Anne passed out magic wands at the conference
- so the magic has begun.
April is Magazine month for us. As I have
traveled around and asked the question of how many of you
read the Rotarian, I have been disappointed with the number
of hands that were raised. Rotary spends thousands of
dollars a month producing the magazine and mailing it to
every Rotarian in the world. It is our President’s way of
trying to connect to us. If you are not reading his message
you are missing out. Please start reading his message every
month. He is trying to keep us connected to Rotarians all
over the world. We do connect and we connect in many
wonderful ways.
It’s hard to believe that I only have two and
a half months left as Governor. The year has flown by and
there is still a lot of work to be done. Foundation
Advocates, please continue to visit the clubs and help your
clubs get great Rotary programs so that club members can see
the needs around the world.
When I visited clubs I asked you to please
contribute a little more to the foundation than you did last
year. We need to end up ahead of where we were last year.
Thanks to Lou Mello, we have gone over the 200 mark on
members of the Paul Harris Society. Many of you end up
paying the government money every April. Why not make a
substantial donation to the Foundation and claim it on your
taxes? Our Foundation is our Charity and I ask you to
consider making an additional donation today.
Membership is still down and we all need to
look for additional people to invite to Rotary. We are a
world class organization and inviting people to become part
of our group will strengthen our clubs and our communities.
Please find someone today and invite them this week. We
could top the 5,000 in numbers in our district if you would
invite one person to join your club this month. As a gift to
me won't you please try to help get the numbers up?
Thank you for helping this District remain
one of the best districts in the world. We have been number
One in the world two out of the past four years. Can't we do
it again this year? We can with your help. Remember to give
generously to the Foundation and invite someone today to
become a member of Rotary.
