A Message from the District Governor
Happy New Year, Rotarians of District 6040! As we step into 2026 together, I’m inspired by the momentum we’ve built and the service you’ve shown throughout the first six months of our Rotary year. Our theme this year — Unite for Good: Growing Stronger, Leading Together — reminds us that our collective efforts deepen our impact, strengthen our communities, and expand Rotary’s reach across northern Missouri and beyond.
Over the past several months, I’ve had the privilege of visiting many of our 51 clubs — each unique in their character and service projects but united by a shared passion for fellowship, leadership, and meaningful community impact. Let’s carry that unity forward into this new calendar year!
Here’s to another month — and year — of service, connection, and leadership!
— In Rotary Service, Jodi Sundaram, District Governor 2025–26
