Greetings, District 7190 Rotarians! As we progress into this Rotary year, many Rotarians and club leaders are making plans and setting goals. Many of these goals relate to the future of our clubs or our roles within Rotary International. And, yes, this year was a bit unique for us as we also had/ have many other plans to make, in particular the excitement of our new district that is being built. It’s important to recognize that after this Rotary year, when we become one of three Districts merging as CNY Rotary, our District will need to, in essence, “close down.” This meant we had to appoint additional members to our District Governor track for an extended 18-month term as we wind those district activities down. Your current District Governor track includes PDG Sam Hall, PDG Fred Daniels, PDG Bruce McConellee, PDG Denise DiNoto, and me. In keeping with full transparency, at many times the prospect of CNY Rotary has been exciting. However, there have also been concerns brought to me by our district members. Each concern presented is important, and many have been voiced by long standing Rotarians who have made important and valuable contributions to our district that have brought us to where we stand today.

Dear Rotary Members of District 7190, As we progress into this new year, many Rotarians and club leaders are making plans and setting goals. Many of these goals relate to the future of our clubs or our roles within Rotary International. As District Governor I am busy executing the plan I made a year ago. I am pleased to communicate what has been already accomplished and importantly, where we are headed next. Of course, we engaged the typical planning for a District Governor year which includes budget preparations and vote, a few years of learning about processes and resources, planning for the years events including trainings and social gatherings and working with the D7190 District Governor (DG) track, committee chairs, assistant governors (AGs) and club presidents for the Rotary year 23’-24’.

 RYLA is designed to grow leadership skills in students who have untapped leadership potential. Specifically, we are focusing on juniors in high school. Our program is not for the student who is already utilizing strong leadership skills or students who have no desire to develop such skills. District 7190 RYLA has been developed to help the committed student with untapped leadership potential. Through our program we will open up that potential and show the student the possibilities that are available to them. This has positive effects on many parts of the student’s life. They will gain self-confidence, add valuable skills that will serve them well into their future, and will teach another generation
about the ideals of Rotary.

Countdown to the RI Convention in Hamburg, Germany - June 1 - 5, 2019 We are just months away from a very exciting opportunity for Rotarians and friends from District 7190 to attend the RI Convention International Convention in the great city of Hamburg, Germany! The District is encouraging all Rotarians to make the effort to attend this RI International Convention.

On November 12, 2017, District 7190 Rotarians will host a Peace Summit for Youth in Mechanicville. For more than 110 years, Rotary members have been addressing challenges around the world and acting as ambassadors for peace. In today’s global climate, our youth are anxious. Anxious about international relations, terrorism, America's position in the world, their personal future, and how they fit in. The Peace Summit for Youth will provide a forum to express their concerns and work collaboratively to consider pathways to peace – peace in their schools, on their streets, and in the world.

 Something for every Rotarian
For the first time in 5 years, the Rotary International Convention returns to the USA! It will be held in Atlanta, and will feature a celebration of the Rotary Foundation Centennial. If you have never been to a Rotary International Convention, this is a great time to do it. You will have a chance to meet Rotarians from over 130 countries, and make new Rotary friends while renewing old acquaintances. In addition, you will hear about exciting club projects from around the world and share what your club is doing. The general and breakout sessions are world class and the House of Friendship offers amazing chances to learn and share. We hope that 40 to 50 Rotarians and guests will attend from District 7190. Register soon since this will be a truly popular Convention!

Governor's Visits are Underway, Foundation Questions Abound
This past month many of you have welcomed me into your clubs. I have had a chance to meet some of you and look forward to meeting the rest of the District over the next two months. With the Official Visits underway, I have found that so many of you have questions regarding how the new Rotary Foundation model "Future Visions" is working. I am proud to report that we have experienced a record number of grant requests and in amounts that exceed our total of funds available. I hear, every day, of service projects that you are doing and changing lives both in our local and global communities. Keep up the great work. We will be looking for more grant applications in January that may be the grants you will be doing next year. Training is set for March 1, 2014 for the qualification process that now requires two people from each club get trained for that club to move forward with grants next year. PLAN AHEAD is the message that we are receiving from RI and it makes good business sense to do so. I am looking forward to supporting you as you find more innovative ways to get things done. Best wishes as we move through 2013-14 and thanks again for your continued Rotary Service, YOU TRULY ARE ROTARIANS.

I would like to personally thank those members and friends of District 7190 who took time away from their personal New Year's Day Celebrations to attend or participate in one of the many Bowling parties or the Polio Plunge on Jan 1 this year.
While figures are not completely in, it looks like you really wanted to "Tell The Governor To Jump In The Lake". At last count, between pledges and money collected, we are hoping to top $ 20,000. raised for our "Polio Plunge and Bowl over Polio" event. Watch the February Toolbox for final figures and pictures.
As you know, when that money gets in, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will be matching $2 for every $1. making our impact so much more (They will add $40,000 making a $60,000 total when we reach the $20,000 figure).
PDG Anne Cargile and her team did an outstanding job on this one and they deserve our District's gratitude.
It was fun and DGE Dave is planning something for next year so keep tuned and plan now to join us on January 1, 2015

As we progress toward the Holidays, we should take the time to look at the things we are thankful for. We belong to a world wide organization that specializes in putting service first. As Rotarians we have the unique opportunity to help, not only our local communities, but also to be a force for peace in the world. I recently read an article that stated: How can we expect peace to come when there is hunger, sickness and unsanitary living conditions in a large part of our world. I think that the author of that article got it right. But all is not lost, in Rotary we CAN make a difference. We can work to help those who need clean water, food and health care. We CAN be a force for change AND peace. How? We can take the time to read about what is being done for others in our Rotarian magazine and look for ways to join the fight for peace. We can help fight Polio through donations. We can fight for clean water and better living conditions through the use of our District and Global Grants AND we can donate whenever and whatever we are able to the Rotary Foundation to help other Rotarians join our fight.
So as we are sitting at our tables with our Thanksgiving meal spread before us, let's take a minute to be truly thankful that we have the advantages we do and let's take another minute to really think about how we can help those that don't.
I wish all of you a healthy and happy Thanksgiving and, whatever Holiday you celebrate, I wish you joy and PEACE.

Welcome Rotarians to the new Rotary year where we will celebrate the theme: Engage Rotary/Change Lives. Our new RI President, Ron D. Burton, has asked us to put Rotary to work, offer the hand of membership to the people we know, and change lives through our service projects. We will find when we do this, the life we change the most is our own. We look at the world from a different angle and we start to understand the possibilities that the Rotary world can offer. I hope all of you will join me this year in looking for ways to invite new faces in to our clubs and new clubs in to our District.

June is fellowship month: Fellowship: : companionship, company, community of interest, activity, feeling, or experience, the state of being a fellow or associate, a company of equals or friends : association, the quality or state of being comradely
Community: a unified body of individuals: as: state, commonwealth, the people with common interests living in a particular area; broadly : the area itself <the problems of a large community, an interacting population of various kinds of individuals (as species) in a common location
We, as Rotarians are then a Fellowship Community - we share common interests and are in the company of friends where ever we go....
