A message from your District Governor

Rocky Martinez

January 2023

 
 
 
 
 
Dear Rotarians,
 
Happy New Year to everyone and I wish the best for everyone this year. It is hard to imagine that we are half though this Rotary year. So, the good news it we have another 6 months to make a difference.

January is Rotary’s Vocational Service Month, a pillar of Service Above Self, embedded in our history, present and future. It calls on Rotarians to foster high ethical standards in business, recognize the value of all occupations, and dignify our occupations as an opportunity to serve and enhance our communities. I’m challenging every Rotary member to put their vocational service in action by considering one of the following:
 
  • Using your skills and expertise to serve a community.
    • Consider joining a Rotary Action Group to share your expertise and make a difference in projects outside your club or district
  • Mentor young people to help achieve their career goals
    • Consider mentoring young professionals in our Rotary family such as Rotaract, Interact and Junior Rotarians These members are interested in leadership and professional development training opportunities.
  • Offering leadership and professional development guidance to others.
    • Join or form a Rotary Fellowship related to your vocation. Rotary Fellowships are international groups whose members share a vocational or recreational interest.
  • Practicing your profession with integrity and inspiring others to do so.
    • Encourage your club to organize business networking and professional development events and conduct leadership training workshops.
 
I just want to call your attention to a couple items:
  • RLI training at the Johnson City High School on March 4th, 2023
    • RLI NEA | Where people come to learn Rotary!
  • District Grants: (Home Page | Rotary District 7170) Foundation
    • Webinar Training Feb. 4th (Requirement)
    • Grant Application Due Date: May 1st
  • President Elect Training - March 17-19, Syracuse NY
    • Welcome | Rotary Empire MD PETS
 
You can make a difference. My Best wishes for Peace, Prosperity and Progress in the New Year. I’m happy and thankful of being part of this team, sharing great moments during 2023 and looking forward to more during 2023
 
Let's continue to rediscover Rotary!
 
Your District Governor,
Rocky Martinez
