 A TOAST to District 6000 – We hoped you would participate in this innovative form of a district conference, and so many of you did! This pilot offered a conference experience at a lower cost, less travel, and a shorter time away from family and jobs along with a bigger picture of Rotary!DG Mike’s Rotary Cups of Cold Water – I initially developed this abbreviated “nuts & bolts newsletter” for Rotary club presidents, secretaries, and assistant governors to keep them in the loop with key information. It was suggested they be made available for all members of District 6000 to read. If you are interested in reading DG Mike’s Rotary Cups of Cold Water click here. It is rewarding to see how Rotary clubs are taking this year’s theme of Rotary: Making a Difference very seriously. You are helping to make the world a better place by your active involvement in Rotary and impacting the lives of more people than you will ever realize. Thank you for your Service Above Self commitment to Rotary. You are indeed making a positive difference. District Governor Mike Ruby, rubys@machlink.com, C) 563-260-2862 |
