When I began this journey, it felt like a monumental task and I knew there would be challenges. But I am so thankful for the help and support that I have gotten along the way. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to get out and visit all of our 38 clubs to share stories and see the impact that you are having on your communities and your commitment to Service Above Self. You are truly an inspiration!  Being the district governor has been both rewarding and humbling. 

 

Some of the moments that stand out include seeing Rotarians respond to the tornados that impacted some of our communities and in response the district created a foundation to provide an avenue to accept financial help from Rotarians in our community and from districts around the country. I enjoyed seeing the district partner with clubs by providing grant support to important projects in our communities. It reminds me of our theme for this year The Magic of Rotary and how we come together to create positive change.

 

A huge thank you to my fellow district leaders, club presidents, committee chairs and every single Rotarian in this district. Thank you for all of your tireless efforts, the ideas you bring to the table and your unwavering support.
