Dear Rotarians,
As the new year of
2013 unfolds, it is the halfway mark of the Rotary program year and my term of
service as your District Governor. I
find myself surprised to be at this point so quickly. The half way point is the time to revisit
initial goals set at the beginning of the year and continue with rekindled
enthusiasm. For the first six months as
your District Governor, I was focused on club visits. I cannot underestimate their importance in
furthering my appreciation of the accomplishments of our clubs and also recognizing
the challenges of the clubs of our district.
For the next six months I look forward to having the time to attend club
events. Please keep me posted on special
events your club has planned.
The first six months of 2013 will also be a time of training
for the leadership for our district.
·
District Governor Elect Jack McAllister will
attend the International Assembly in San Diego this month.
·
New Presidents Elect are registering for the
President Elect Training Session to be held in Nashville March 22-23.
·
New club leadership can be developed at the
Rotary Leadership Institute on February 2 in Lexington (register at www.hoa-rli.com)
·
Future Vision Grant Training Seminars for club
certification will be announced shortly.
Every club must have members attend to be qualified to participate in
foundation programs in 2013.14.
Remember that January is Rotary awareness month. A simple thing that you can do to promote awareness is wear your Rotary pin every day. Before the month is out, someone will ask you what it means. Be sure you are prepared with an enthusiastic response. It could be the first step to engaging a new member.
Peace Through Service,
Kathryn Hardman, Governor
