A very happy Valentine’s Day to each member of our vibrant District. The good work that is taking place in every corner of our District is absolutely staggering when we look at it collectively.
It was 112 years ago this month that Paul Harris and three of his friends founded the first Rotary club. His goal was simple: to create an oasis of friendship amid a city of strangers, with those who shared his values.
District 5020 is seeking applications for the position of District Membership Chair to serve a one-year term (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018) and two additional years, subject to the approval of the sitting District Governor.
Find out more about specific responsibilities and how to apply.
This new Rotary District 5020 Bulletin section is dedicated to upcoming Rotary Club events, Club galas, and fellowship open to the entire District.
