Governor Tom's March Message

Through water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) program, Rotary's people of action mobilize resources, form partnerships and invest in infrastructure and training that yields long term change. The Rotary Foundation, with your support, is changing the world by providing grants for projects and activities around the world and in your own backyard. Since 2013, the Rotary Foundation has invested more than $130 million in over 2, ooo WASH projects worldwide. Through this investment, our volunteers of action have improved access to safely managed and basic WASH services to communities, schools and healthcare facilities, while protecting and conserving water resources. 

 

We truly are "People of Action" bringing positive change around the world!

 

Our district leadership is focused on our strategic plan, which includes training the next group of Rotary leaders in our district. DGE Robert Rapp will be hosting our District Team Training and President-Elect Training in March. Please make sure your club leaders are in attendance to help gain the skills and help transition club leadership in July. 

 

I was able to participate with a number of Rotarians this last weekend in the meal packaging project to support Heartland Kids Against Hunger. It gives me pride to see so many Rotarians give of their time and resources to come together for a multi-club service project. Keep up the great work as "People of Action" and remember to use those Public Image resources to post about the great work we are doing in our community. Invite prospective members to your club meetings and service projects and show them the impact we have on our communities as the largest service organization in the world!
