District 6440 Hands-On Mission for 2009-2010
Rotary District 6440 is planning at least two hands-on missions in the 2009-10 year. The first will be to work at a Mayan school in the eastern part of Guatemala, either at Ak'Tenamit where we have been the last two years or at a new school being developed to expand the program. The details are not complete, but it will be the third week of January 2010. Please send your name to Larry Kanar (lpk471@gmail.com)if you are interested and he will keep you informed as the plans develop.
If that week doesn't work for you let Larry know if you are interested in other missions when they come up.

Message from the Governor
The Rotary year has flown by. I have had the privilege of meeting so many dedicated Rotarians and seeing the wonderful work being done by all of you. This district is truly inspirational, with strong projects here and abroad furthering Rotary's mission of peace.
Please ensure that these good works go on by continuing to support The Rotary Foundation. The reality is that without funding, The Foundation cannot accomplish all of our goals. We need to push as we near the end of our battle against polio; please be sure that your club does its part. And most of all, we must continue to attract new members who are the lifeblood of our organization. Without constantly inviting new people to join in our efforts our success will be curtailed. We have so much to offer; please JUST ASK someone to join you at a meeting and learn more about Rotary.
Thank you all for your work through Rotary.
