Rotary Connects the World !

Posted by Sparky Leonard on Jul 01, 2019

Rotary Connects the World in so many great ways, and this year in District 6380 as your District Governor the number one goal is to strengthen and grow Rotary through out our district.

Increasing the number of assistant governors from 12 to 13 will allow them to serve each club more effectively. The assistant governors will visit the clubs every two months, first to deliver the Rotary International message from President Mark Daniel Maloney. They will work with you and your club presidents, listening to your challenges and sharing what they have experienced during their year as presidents of their clubs. Your assistant Governor will share challenges and ideas learned while visiting other clubs, remember plagiarism is the best form of flattery ! Please welcome and take full advantage of your assistant governors!

Committee chairs have doubled in size and this year they will be known as your ambassadors, Youth Exchange, Interact, Rotoract, Foundation, Polio Plus, Public Image, Membership have all been increased, to better assist your club in serving your communities. Rotary is like a smorgasbord, a smorgasbord of the greatest food for the heart and soul enjoyed around the world. As a Rotarian find what pleases your appetite when it comes to serving your community and enlist the support available. Your District 6380 Ambassadors are ready to serve you.

I will be visiting your clubs this year when you feel I can help deliver a strong message in your community, if you and your clubs leadership feel we can make an impactful difference during a service project, fundraiser or a joint community meeting with other organizations like the local chamber of commerce or a different service club then that is when I will visit your club. If your club prefers a traditional club visit when I can share my vision, that is when I will visit your club, whatever we can do to spread the good of Rotary and grow to strengthen our clubs, is where I want to focus my energy, as a result our foundation and opportunities to serve and do good in the world will naturally follow.

Together we see a world, where People unite and take action to Create lasting Change across the globe in our communities and in ourselves!
