District Governor's Message

My fellow Rotarian readers and subscribers:

April is Magazine Month, a good time to consider the tremendous work of the Rotary World Magazine Press, made up of The Rotarian and 31 regional magazines in 25 languages. This important benefit can help our  district and clubs' service efforts and to share the useful information as we subscribe to it.

Practicable ideas on how we can improve our service to the community where we reach out to- addressing vital concerns - health, hunger, literacy, and access to water- can be found in the Rotary magazine.

In the words of President John Kenny "When I sit down to write a monthly president's message, destined for the pages of all of Rotary's magazines, I know that I have an opportunity that will come only once a month, for only the one year that I will be in office. It is an opportunity to speak directly, in my own words, to every one of our 1.2 million members. No matter how much I travel, or how often I speak, or how hard I work to bring my message to clubs and districts, nothing I can do will have the reach of the 400 words I am privileged to put on this page."

Let me also take this time to remind you to complete your semi-annual reports as well as your club application forms for RI recognition of membership development initiatives and submit Presidential Citation Application to RI.

We look forward to a time of refreshing in the upcoming District Assembly and the RI Convention
