The clacking of sewing machines fills the sunlit room until word spreads that the bus has arrived. At that, a dozen women clad in pink kurtas file into the courtyard of the Seven Women Center in Kathmandu, Nepal. They smile widely as a group of Australian women led by a tall blonde enters through the iron gate.
We have so many young men and women to be proud of! This year we were hosted by the Juneau Rotary clubs. They organized our time at the Alaska State Capitol with our delegation. They sponsored a visit to the Alaska Museum, to The Rock Dump (indoor rock climbing) and tickets to the new movie, Captain Marvel. Many thanks to the Juneau Rotarians!!
One lucky bidder won a Mardi Gras dinner for six at our annual "Night at the Movies" Foundation Fundraiser. These folks know how to party!
Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday. It's also called Shrove Tuesday, Carnival Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday, depending on where the celebration is taking place.
No matter the name, it's a day of revelry that includes parades, parties and gastronomic indulgence before the Christian fasting season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. It marks the last day of the Carnival season, basically a six-week period of partying around the globe.

We are pleased to announce that our Rotary District will make ten $350.00 stipends available to D5010 Rotarians who are registered as first time attendees at the District Assembly and Conference in Anchorage on May 2-5, 2019. Preference will be given to Young Leaders who apply.
District 5010 would like to sincerely say thank you to our sponsors for having such a caring and giving heart because without their support for our 2019 District Conference, it would not be possible.
With your donations, we are able to provide not only a full weekend of exciting events for members and their families, but it will also provide inspiration through our speakers, educational growth and training for dedicated Rotarians, the sharing of local club and international projects, fellowships with new and old friends. We will hear inspiring stories from Rotary Youth Exchange students. We will share ideas, celebrate our accomplishments, and find out what has been happening in the district and the world.
“Together, we are the inspiration!”
Share your club's good news!
There is a lot going on each month in our Rotary District.
If your Club has something they would like to add to the District 5010 Newsletter,
