SO IMPRESSED
What an amazing group of Rotarians across our District! I have been greatly impressed by you as I have gotten around to many of our clubs in preparation for my upcoming governor role. You are impacting the lives of those we serve both locally and internationally. Thank you District 7090 Rotarians!
By now, you will have received the email announcement that we have opened registration for District Conference 2019 – Sail-abration. Come - enjoy 7 days at sea with your fellow Rotarians, partners and friends aboard the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas – one of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world. We depart Fort Lauderdale October 20, 2019. For more information go to our conference website http://www.districtconference7090.org.
Another announcement for activities on the horizon include a one-day Rotarians in Action event, scheduled for September 28. Stay tuned for more on this exciting day of action. And, this year we are the host district for the Zone Conference, September 19 - 21. As host district there are a few expectations of us. I will be sharing more specific information as I receive it.
Earlier this month Corinne and I attended the Rotary International Assembly (RIA) in San Diego. It was, as reported by our PDGs, awe inspiring with general assemblies that were laden with outstanding speakers on a variety of Rotary related stories that connected, captivated and prepared each and every District Governor Elect for the 2019-2020 Rotary year. There were upwards of 500 of us there with our partners. Our Rotary International President Elect (RIPE) Mark Maloney unveiled his theme, Rotary Connects the World. It holds special meaning for me as my life’s journey has been truly enriched by my connections with my global Rotary family. Pictured are Corinne and I with RIPE Mark and Gay, his wife.
My preparation to be your DG is not unlike a roller coaster ride. But, I am humbled to serve you. Thank you for your support and patience.
