A message from your District Governor

Rocky Martinez

April 2023

 
 
 
 
 
Dear Rotarians,
 
Spring is in the air, and we are all getting excited to spend more time out of our homes. My year as your governor has been special in so many ways. In July, I shared exciting news of the birth of my first granddaughter, Lily. Well guess what? I now have my first grandson. Dean Richard Burdick
joined our family on March 7th and he is perfect in every way. JoAnne and
I couldn't be more proud of him. Mom and Dad are doing great and learning what it is like to be parents but let me tell you the best role to play is Grandpa, and I’m making the most of this role.
 
This month we celebrate the newest area of focus: the Environment. Rotarians around the world share an interest in protecting our common legacy: the environment. We are committed to supporting activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability, and foster harmony between communities and the environment. Rotary members are tackling environmental issues the way they always do: coming up with projects, using their connections to change policy and planning for the future.
 
I would like to encourage each of you to do something small or big in your community. Several clubs have well established events to celebrate April 22nd, as Earth Day. Some clubs in our District are planning a highway trash pick-up day. Some of our clubs have adopt-a-highway projects where this happens multiple times throughout the year. A special thank you to the Franklin Rotary looking for ways to increase the public image of Rotary at the club and district level. They have involved more community members this year in order to increase their area of impact.
We should all be proud of the difference we make in our communities.
Thank you for all that you do.

Here are just a reminder of upcoming events:
 
  • Global Grants Seminar - April 1st, Zoom
  • Chat with the DG Track - April 5th - Zoom
