Hello District 6740 Rotarians,
We are just about finished with our first 30 days, and I hope yours has been grand. In the few times I've spoken to various clubs and gatherings, I try to share a few words from our President Ravi Ravindran in his letter addressing his chosen theme. President Ravi starts off by saying that our time on this earth is finite, and always shorter than we think. He goes on to challenge us to not just continue our repetition, but to actively pursue new ideas and the giving of ourselves, our time, our talents.
It is my hope that each one of us will remember why we became Rotarians. What attracted us to be here in the first place? ...And when you remember why you became a Rotarian, TELL somebody else about it. ...Invite somebody to join you. August is Rotary MEMBERSHIP and EXTENSION Month. ...Will you invite one of your coworkers to Rotary one day this month? They may not accept, but just ASK.
Do YOU have an idea? ...for a project? ...for a fundraiser? ...for a possible new member? Will you send me a note? Will you SHARE your ideas?
Did you know that we have 1,630+ Rotarians in our District? Take a minute sometime this next month and check out the District website. www.KyDistrict6740.org
Most of you know that I have and will keep in touch with your board members and your club president. But this is not just THEIR year. This is YOUR year. I want to keep in touch with YOU, as well. I am so looking forward to visiting with you and hope you will be able to attend when I visit your club.
BE A GIFT TO THE WORLD...be a gift to YOUR world. It starts with one; it starts with ME and it starts with YOU.
