From Our District Governor
Gratitude


“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision of tomorrow.”

“Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs forth from the soul.”

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others.”

“When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” - Lao Tzu

We find ourselves at the beginning of another month and with that comes thanksgiving and gratitude for the blessings we have received. Thank you so much for all that you've done to Amplify Rotary! Thank you for your dedication, your commitment, and your determination to make a difference in the world, especially in our district!

Let us ever be mindful of those who are less fortunate than we are as we serve humanity in our Seven Areas of Focus. Let me challenge you to continue to work towards our Foundation, Membership, and especially our commitment to our Mental Health Goals, beginning with ourselves. We have so many reasons to do this work. Most importantly, we need to consider ourselves just as valuable.  Take time during this season to reflect, reenergize and we recommit to better self-care; this will aid us in providing care to others.

I'm appreciative of ALL of our programs, specifically: Be the Voice, Interact, Laws of life, RYLA, Rotary Youth Exchange, GRSP, DEI, CART, ROTARACT, and Human Trafficking just to mention a few.   WE ARE AMPLIFYING ROTARY! Your efforts to Tell Your Rotary Stories, Projects, Public Image Post and special programs you have shared with me, and Walter have been EXCEPTIONAL l!!!   I may not have mentioned you in the work you have done, BELIEVE ME, IT HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED, I praise your efforts!!!!!

As we move forward into our New Year, lets “Reach” forward to complete 100% of our goals, as we race toward the finish line.  There are many more dynamic things we can accomplish! I ask that you Refocus and together, we dedicate ourselves to making our clubs and this District “Better than the Best!

"You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness." - Zig Ziglar
