District Governor's Visit

 Aug 15 - Alan Havir, (see his bio here),  District 5510 Governor, spoke to and even sang with our club today. He emphasized the importance and value of the District Conference (to be held on June 8/9, 2012). He strongly encouraged club members to attend. Alan spoke of the role of Rotary International and gave several great examples of how important Rotary has been, and continues to be, to the entire world. He promoted the need for strategic plans for all clubs, which then lead to the strategic plan for the District. Current statistics show that Rotary must reach out to the X and Y generations, NOW, if Rotary is going to continue as the most significant service organization on the planet. We are in a demographic crisis which requires all of us to reach out to our youth through Interact, Rotaract, and Youth Exchange, if we are to survive. His presentation was both thought provoking and inspirational and was extremely well received.
