Governor's Message

As our district begins the orderly transition from one leadership team to another I would like to invite any member of District 6440 to attend the Club Officers’ Training Seminar (COTS)/District Assembly on April 25th. One of the wonders of Rotary is that we change the leadership of our clubs, districts and international organization, yearly. Can you imagine if a corporation did this every year?!? It is critically important for outgoing and incoming leaders to have a sense of where the organization has been and where it is going. To that end also, the Club Visioning Workshops are still being offered for individual clubs and PDG Terry Mueller is chairing those efforts.

Water protection and conservation has been a focus for our district all of this Rotary year. Legislation has been proposed in the form of the Water for the World Act of 2009. Please take a moment to ready the one-page summary at Water Act.

If you have not made your contribution to The Rotary Foundation yet, the district will match contributions to the annual fund over $500. See Spring Fling for details. Thank you to each and every one of you for your dedication, time, efforts and all that you continue to do for Rotary.

Thanks Pamela for posting information about the Water for the World Act. I have put a little more detail on the Act and related activities on my blog at:

Senators and Congressmen can always use "please support the Water for the World Act" if/when possible too. Thanks for everything you do.
