January is the middle of the Rotary year, but it's a good chance to take stock of what you've accomplished and to reenergize your club to do even more in the remaining half of the Rotary year. Each service director should be evaluating his or her team's progress and making mid-course adjustments to be sure to meet your goals. Plenty of help is available from the district; please consult your Assistant Governor to get whatever assistance will make a difference for your club.
Club presidents, do you know that your successor can't take office until he or she has completed the training required by Rotary International? Please help District Governor Elect Bill Ferreira by ensuring that your president-elect is participating in Pre-PETS on January 31st, PETS on March 13 and 14, and the District Assembly April 25th. Not only will this strengthen your club, it will also ensure that you are able to leave office on July 1st!
District Simplified Grants are easy ways to impact your community. Applications are due soon but are truly simple to prepare, so it's something for your club to consider. The grants are intended to help with short-term humanitarian or educational projects and the application is available at www.rotary6440.org.
Thanks in large part to the hard work of District Public Relations Chair Judy Hughes, District 6440 has been chosen to receive Rotary International's PR Grant for $10,000. Imagine the visibility this grant will give us. But to do the most good, Judy needs to hear from you. Please respond to her plea at http://rotary6440.blogspot.com/2008/12/well-be-spreading-good-news-with-pr.html.
Thank you to all of you for what you do through Rotary. I wish you continued success in the new year, along with good health, happiness and lots of fellowship!
