I personally want to say thank you to our incoming Presidents and Assistant Governors for giving their most precious resource, their time, to participate in last week’s Northeast PETS! I am excited and optimistic that Rotary Year 2016 -2017 will be an electrifying year for our District due to the energy, passion and dedication displayed by our incoming Presidents and Assistant Governors at Northeast President Elect Training on March 10th through March 12th! I know that all who attended acquired knowledge and insights that will enhance not only their Rotary endeavors, but also their personal and professional skills.
Northeast PETS is a joint effort of eight Rotary International districts and includes the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, southern Maine and southern Quebec. Considered to be one of the very best of its kind in the USA, it is also very unique in that it’s multi-District participation of so many future Presidents and Assistant Governors creates so much energy and enthusiasm.

Did you know the first donation to our Foundation was $26.50 in 1917? From those humble beginnings, the Foundation of Rotary International has received contributions totaling over $1 billion to date! On April 2 our District Foundation Team will be presenting a two-part seminar consisting of the yearly Foundation Forum, followed by lunch, and a Grant Qualification Seminar.
The Grant Qualification Seminar is a requirement if your club wants to be qualified for grants in the 2016-2017 Rotary year! Grants are a fantastic avenue for Clubs to have a real impact in the world and the communities they serve!
Global grants truly put the “international” in Rotary International as they lend aid to needy people the world over. District grants benefit your club and your community by having a tangible impact on the quality of life of you and your neighbors! Local district grants also get your club’s name into the community and demonstrate what Rotary – and your club – can do!
