A message from DG Debbie High

May is Youth Services Month and District Conference”

Rotary All Stars – the link between Rotary and youth for all our clubs is amazing.  
Every club that I visited engages with youth programs in some way or another, such as:
  • RYLA
  • Early Act First Knight
  • Interact
  • Rotaract
  • Scholarships
  • Rotary International Youth Exchanges
  • Literacy Programs
  • Adoption Awareness Picnics and many others.
 
It is imperative we continue to invest in our youth by sponsoring new Interact and Rotaract Clubs.
 
High Notes from the First Dude

Well we are almost ready for the Grand Finale of the Rotary Year 2016/17.

It is not just the District, but all Club Presidents are looking at the end of their year of service.  It has been Debbie’s and my privilege to serve you.  It has been a busy, exciting, and at times challenging year.  We have been blessed to make many new friends all over our District.  We are so proud to be members of a District that has so many Service Projects in our communities, regions, nationally and worldwide.
 
Later this week, I hope to get to visit and enjoy your fellowship at the 2016/17 Rotary District Conference.   Taking the time to reflect on the success of this year is a valuable exercise.

I am so fortunate to be the 2017 Rotary District 5930 Global Grant Scholar. Due to the generosity of the local Rotarians and the Rotary International Foundation I get to pursue this amazing opportunity. I never in a million years thought this would be possible.
Much love and thanks to you all!”

Rotary Adoption Awareness Project
To Begin.
 
This November 2017 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Rotary Adoption Awareness Project.  There are many ways to describe this, but most easily it can be simply be labeled "Rotary". There seems not to be another program that exemplifies who we are and what we do.  I have heard Rotarians describe this and they have all been wonderful.  This has never been about any single Rotarian but rather our family of Rotarians.
