District Governor Linda Murray Club Visit

Posted by Gary O'Rielly on Nov 06, 2018

District Governor Linda Murray addressing our Club during her visit last Friday. She was accompanied by her husband Bill and Assistant District Governor Dave Duskin. We appreciate the District Governor visiting our Club, sharing her thoughts and hearing about what's going on in our Club.

Each year, the current District Governor visits all of the Clubs in District 5050 to share RI and District information on a personal basis with each Club. Governor Linda Murray spoke about the importance of membership, retention and Rotary Club branding. She wants to concentrate on "what's happening in the Clubs in District 5050" because of the important work each Club contributes to their community and beyond.

Jim Haugen and Gary O'Rielly were singled out by President Kevin O'Brien and District Governor Linda Murray for the contribution each brings to the Club. Kendra Pinkelman was officially inducted into the Club by Governor Murray. Kendra missed last year's induction which happened while she was on vacation. The Governor presented Past President Randy Celori and Club President Kevin O'Brien with the Presidential Citation Award for 2017-18.

Assistant District Governor Dave Duskin prepping for the District Governor's talk to our Club. During and after the meeting, both talked individually to Club members. Following the Regular Meeting, both met with members of the Board to discuss items important to us.
