Last Week, We Visited Clubs In Three Corners Of The District

By Pat and Skip Doyle

Our Club visits last week brought us to three corners of the District. It always amazes us to see that as diverse as our Clubs are, they have so many things in common. As we do with every Club we visit, we all recite the Rotary Four-Way Test because high ethical standards don’t ever go out of style and serving humanity is the most worthwhile thing any one of us can do with our lives. So many of the members of our Clubs have shared with us the many things they do as Clubs and individuals to serve humanity.

One highlight of our visits last week was seeing Past District Governor Roy Gilbert and his wife, Lois Glibert. They were warmly welcomed by their club, Gardner.

We also met with five other Past District Governors for one reason or another last week and this reminded us how vital it is to the health of the District that we have representative candidates each year for District Governor and members of the Board of Trustees. Remember that even though the Nominating Committee can only choose one District Governor each year, all Past Presidents are eligible to be considered. We have met so many qualified Past Presidents as we visited Clubs, and as we say any one of you could be District Governor. Give it a try. The deadline for applications is October 15.

See the Top Highlights banner of this newsletter for detailed information on the nomination process.

District Governor and Trustee Nomination Time

More than likely, all of you are just as tired as we are about elections, voting and candidates. But this reminder is for all Rotarians. Now is the time for Clubs to nominate candidates for the very important positions of District Governor and Trustee. Please review the nomination details and nomination forms, below. We hope to hear frommany Clubs because there are so many potential candidates among our members.
