Governor's Message

As we begin the final push towards the end of this Rotary year and the beginning of the 2009-2010 year I would like the membership of District 6440 to think about the incredible impact we have made on others. I celebrate your projects (both locally and internationally). Thank you for all that you continue to do for Rotary!

I look forward to the District Chain of Lakes Waterway Clean Up and I am reenergized every time I am asked about our District Service Trip to Guatemala and YES we are planning to return again to Ak'Tenamit.

If I can ask each of you to do just two things before the end of this Rotary year it would be to eat a small package of M & Ms . . . . Why? It is an easy way to remember that the core or Rotary can only continue if we have MONEY & MEMBERSHIP. Soooo, what I am actually asking you to do is to first, work actively to bring in a new member, NOW. And second, write your check to The Rotary Foundation, NOW. Your legacy in Rotary is through your actions and they will be magnified when you share Rotary membership with your friends/family. Sharing your funds will allow our Foundation to continue to make their amazing matching grants and scholarships.

There are few organization that are continuing to make the "interest" payments in human development and advancing world understanding, goodwill and peace like Rotary.
