2015-16 District Governor

Greetings Fellow Rotarians and Welcome to the 2015-16 Rotary year! 

As we begin this new year, I want to express how deeply honored I am to serve as your District Governor.  As I often say, one of the greatest pleasures of being a Rotarian is the opportunity for new friendships both here, and around the world, while at the same time working toward making our world a better place.  It’s what we as Rotarians do.  We do this selflessly, we do this tirelessly, we do this in addition to our work, family and other obligations.  And, we have fun!

This year’s Rotary International  President ,Ravi Ravindran ,is urging that we “Be a gift to the world.”  At the International Convention in Sao Paulo, attendees heard of the many accomplishments we have achieved over the past year in so many areas of the world.  Of significant note is the exciting news that we are nearing one year with no new polio cases reported in all of Africa!  And great strides are being made in Pakistan and Afghanistan, with fewer cases than ever being reported and with access being gained to areas that have been out of reach for years.  All this is happening because of the power of Rotary and the ability of Rotarians to reach great heights.  In the words of the Dalai Lama, “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”

Over the next several months, Tonya and I will have the privilege of visiting each of the clubs in our great District.  We are eagerly looking forward to these visits and meeting with your clubs and boards to learn more about what each club is doing, how the District and RI can help strengthen the clubs,  and getting  to know our great District 5010 Rotarians.  I know that you are doing wonderful things in your communities and I’m excited for this opportunity to be your District Governor. 

Thank you for your service.  Thank you for being Rotarians.  Thank you for being a gift to the world.
