District Governor - Abe Feder

Oct 29 - Rotary District 5510 Governor, Abe Feder, spoke to the club about his experiences with Rotary and how he became a member. He was reluctant to join even though his wife, already a Rotary executive, had been twisting his arm for years. He began a relationship with a Pakistani (Nahzim)  in 2001 while attending a District Conference in Flagstaff. After that encounter he decided to join Rotary to make a difference. His on-going relationship with Nahzim over the next 11 years resulted in a trip to Pakistan where Abe met a variety of different people and organizations. He believes that Rotary has made a big difference in the lives of many Pakistanis through its support of both medical and educational functions. Abe showed us pictures of his visit and emphasized that he was truly impressed with the fellowship and understanding that resulted from the trip.  Abe hopes to return in the next year and take several people from our district with him. We cetainly wish him well in this endeavor. Anyone interested should contact Abe Feder directly.
