A Message from Rick Debe - District Governor

Greetings Rotarians as we work together for the common pursuit of truth, fairness, promoting goodwill and bettering friendships.

April and May are celebrated as springtime in our area of the world. After long days of winter and darkness, temperatures begin to rise. Birds return and the plants and flowers begin their rebirth outside.  I, like you, are glad to see spring come as it gives me hope and encouragement for life to prosper.

Our incoming Club Presidents have returned from PETS training with a vision and purpose for their year. Dan Christiansen, our incoming Governor, has stated that they are an extremely energized and professional group, who will lead us into the future. Let us support and participate with them as it will help all of us accomplish good things in the community we live in.

Rotary International also uses these two months to focus on our corporate communication magazine   “The Rotarian” and to highlight conferences and assemblies. It is a good way to stay current and learn about other clubs, activities and featured articles on topics of interest to us all.

We are similar to the outside environment in that we too need to have our spring and become re energized for the year ahead.  Our own District Conference was held on April 19th – 21st at the Abbey Resort in Fontana, WI. The programs and speakers were top notch, inspiring and energizing to all who attended.  It is now a memorable conference for us all.  Thank you to all who attended.

Thanks also for being a part of Rotary!
