Welcome from the District Governor
                                                                                                                                            
Themes for the Upcoming months
       December is Disease Prevention and Treatment Month 
       January is Vocational Service Month​​​​​​​
 
The Holidays are a time for reflection, giving thanks and truly appreciating all that we are blessed with and sharing with others.  The ultimate present we can give to everyone is Peace throughout the world - which seems far away at times.  But as I have learned time and again when spending a few days with each of you, if anyone can accomplish the impossible, it is our Rotary world.  Peace may seem elusive but through building up families, providing clean water, a safe space for healthy children and economic opportunity, our world is far better off because of Rotarians. 
 
Many of you have heard me say that the world needs Rotary now more than ever.  Thank you for all you do.  Your many contributions support not only the Rotary Foundation which makes much of this possible, but your tireless work supports those in need in each of our communities.  We Think Globally, but Act Locally because we are truly People of Action.  I can think of no better organization with which to spend my time and energy than side by side with my fellow Rotarians.                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                            
 “I slept and dreamt that life was joy;
I awoke and saw that life was service;
I acted and behold, service was joy!”
 
 
May you all be blessed this holiday season with family, friends and goodwill and then share your blessings with those in need.  Let there be no doubt that YOU Are My Inspiration.  
 
Happy Holidays!
District Governor Diane
