February always gives me pause—in the best way. As we recognize Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month and World Understanding Month, I’m reminded why I am so proud to serve as your District Governor. This month reflects the very heart of Rotary: bringing people together, building understanding, and creating peace through meaningful service.
When we look back to February 23, 1905, the date of Rotary’s very first meeting, it’s amazing to think how one small gathering grew into a global movement committed to goodwill and peace. Here in District 7910, I see that same spirit alive every day. I see it in the way our clubs collaborate, in how we care for our neighbors, and in the passion you bring to service—locally and around the world.
Rotary is strongest when we lead with clarity, collaboration, and vision—and that is exactly what District 7910 is doing.
Recently, there have been informal conversations and speculation circulating about potential district changes across New England. In the spirit of transparency—and to ensure our members receive clear, accurate, and timely information—we want to share the facts directly and proactively.
This is one event you truly do not want to miss as you prepare to lead your club during the 2026–2027 Rotary year!

Public Image Primer: 3 Rotary Logos Do's and Don'ts
1. DO use your custom Club logo all the time. DG Johnny's Leominster Club's simplified logo is perfect. If you're not using a logo that looks similar, you can find your Club logo in this folder. If your club is using the "old" wheel/gear/cog that has yellow and blue, you gotta change it.
2. DON'T use the Rotary "Mark of Excellence" for your Club's program, event, or anything. Use your Club's custom logo for everything.
3. DON'T use the Presidential "Unite for Good" message for anything that will go to folks who are not Rotary members. That's why the banner at the top of this newsletter no longer has the logo below.
To conform to Rotary's brand guidelines, you'll have the easiest time if you never use that logo at , beautiful as it may be.
