District Governor Visit

Gretchen Bren of the Omaha Night Rotary Club joined us on August 20th to share her insights as District 5650 Governor for 36 clubs across southwest Iowa and eastern Nebraska.

Gretchen gave our members a valuable look at Rotary’s impact across the District and the important work her leadership team is doing to strengthen clubs and expand community service.  Her perspective highlighted how local efforts connect to Rotary International’s much larger mission of Service Above Self.  Her leadership and dedication to support clubs and grow Rotary’s reach in our communities is most appreciated.  Gretchen also presented the RI President’s banner to club President Lori Umberger.

Glenwood's Rotary Club is a philanthropic organization whose members are passionate about making Glenwood and Mills County a better place to live.
Rotary International's Vision: "TOGETHER we see a world where PEOPLE unite and take action to CREATE lasting CHANGE — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.”
Rotarians work to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, protect the environment, and eradicate polio, under the motto of SERVICE ABOVE SELF.
We use the Four-Way Test in all we do:
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
