Serving as the 2025-2026 Rotary District 7910 Governor for the past two months has truly been an honor and a privilege. From the very beginning, I have been warmly welcomed into your clubs during my Official District Governor visits, and I am deeply grateful for the hospitality, enthusiasm, and camaraderie I have experienced at every stop.

Each club I have visited has shown me what makes Rotary so special—your unique traditions, your commitment to service, and the creative ways you support your communities.

It has been inspiring to learn about your projects, your challenges, and your successes. Every club has its own story, and together, you form a vibrant tapestry of service and fellowship that makes District 7910 exceptional.

With just a few months left of my official club visits, I am excited to continue meeting the remaining clubs and discovering even more about what makes each one unique. These visits are a highlight of my role, and I look forward to hearing your stories, celebrating your achievements, and learning about the impact you are making locally and globally. I would also love to return to clubs for service projects so please let me know if you would like me there!
 
While my club visits will conclude soon, my journey as District Governor is far from over. I am looking forward to the next ten months of working alongside all of you—supporting your initiatives, collaborating on district-wide projects, and helping to strengthen our Rotary family. My commitment to serving you and our district remains strong, and I am eager to continue building on the momentum we have created together.
 
As we enter September, I want to highlight Rotary’s Area of Focus for the month: Basic Education and Literacy. This theme is a powerful reminder of the impact we can have by supporting education and promoting literacy in our communities and around the world. I encourage every club to consider how you can contribute to this important cause—whether through local reading programs, supporting schools, or partnering with organizations that advance literacy. Together, we can help open doors and create brighter futures for countless individuals.

Thank you for your dedication, your passion, and your warm welcome. I am honored to serve as your District Governor and am excited for all that we will accomplish together in the months ahead.
