Last Week Was a Full rotary week

By Pat and Skip Doyle

Last week was a full Rotary week as we were welcomed into four clubs: Brookline, Hudson, Leominster and Watertown. The presidents brought their unique personalities to both the club meetings and their well-attended board meetings. We want to thank all the presidents and the members of these clubs for warmly welcoming us as well as the assistant governors who also visited.
 
Speaking of AGs. we want to thank them all for the efforts they have made to attend these visits with us. For many of them, this is not the first time they have visited their clubs. All of them were right at home, and many of them have already been answering questions from their clubs and helping wherever they can. We both served as AGs in the past and we know what a rewarding position this can be. In fact, as we go around the District visiting clubs, we see many old and dear friends that we made during those tenures. The next Assistant Governors Meeting will be held this Wednesday evening at the Hilton Garden Inn in Marlborough.
 
The first quarterly meeting of the District Foundation Committee was also held this week. This meeting, chaired by Sanjay Deshpande, was well-attended. In fact we ran out of room. The agenda featured reports from the chair as well as the Alumni, Endowments, Fundraising, Grants, Polio Plus, Scholarship and Stewardship subcommittees. Each subcommittee chair reported marked progress. Those reports will be highlighted in future newsletters.
 

District Governor and Trustee Nomination Time

 
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.
 
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 from many Clubs because there are so many potential candidates among our members.
 
Always remember, you can call us with questions at 508-393-9031.
