2021-2022 District Governor Ray Anderson

Ray's visit to the Longmont Rotary Club included awarding 6 club members with their newest Paul Harris pin, along with providing an update on District 5450 news, upcoming Rotary events and winning the Fishbowl! (now he can't say he never wins). Ray has been a member of the Rotary Club of Highlands Ranch since 1997 serving as its President in 2000-01. He has served as Assistant Governor, District Membership Co-Chair, a member of the District Visioning Team, PETS Facilitator, and a graduate of RLI. Ray is a Paul Harris Fellow and member of the Paul Harris Society.

Governor Ray provided an update on some exciting upcoming Rotary events.

The Rotary District Conference will be held on April 29th-30th at The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace in Aurora. Registration details will be emailed to Rotarians closer to the event.

The Rotary International Convention will be held on June 4th-8th in Houston, TX. Sign up early for lower registration rates.

PETS (President Elect Training Seminar) will be held on March 4th-6th. Registration is now open.

Details of these above listed events can be found on the district website at Rotary5450.org.

Ray offered these final words of advice. "When a member leaves a club, we often ask why did they leave? Instead I urge you to ask your new members, why they joined your club and why they want to be a Rotarian?”
