Governor Champion encouraged Rotarians to attend the 100th Anniversary of the Rotary Foundation.  Our district conference will be April 6-9, 2017 in San Destin Grand Resort.  He encouraged everyone to attend both the Rotary International convention and the district conference. Both of these are going to be tremendous events 

Rotary has given $3 Billion in service projects around the world.  Our individual contributions are small but together they are large.  For every $1 contributed 88 cents is contributed and only 12 cents is applied toward administration costs.

There are 33 clubs in our district that have received grants.  All that was asked was received by Individual clubs that used the money for many different projects.

District Governor Roger Champion would like us to do a new event to create more public awareness.
  • Rotary National Convention is June 10-June 14, 2017 and will be in Atlanta.
  • Rotary serving humanity to free the world of polio.  There were 21 cases in the world this year.
  • Polio needs to be free for 3 years to be considered eradicated. 

Mr. Champion says that fellowship is a very important part of a Rotary Club.  He feels we should take advantage of our fellowship events.

Our district governor would love for everyone who would like to earn a Presidential Citation to get one.  Your Rotary, Rotaract, or Interact club can earn a Presidential Citation for achieving goals that strengthen Rotary and your club. Activities include growing your membership, developing sustainable service projects,giving to The Rotary Foundation, and building awareness of Rotary in your community. He says to start early.

District Governor Roger Champion thanked Kerry Anne for helping with the district conference. He concluded and asked us to like him on Facebook.
