Program:

Jeffrey Pelkey, District Governor

District Governor Pelkey outlined his hopes for the District. Rotary is a changing organization and it keeps us all at the Top of our Game. We will continue to face financial challenges.

He spoke for a few minutes about the need to gauge the "Curb Appeal" of our club, taking a look at our club through the eyes of others. Make sure we are always refining the face of Rotary; add a jolt of energy. and embrace and keep Rotarians. The first three years are important for new members, get them involved in thier personal passion.

Our RI President John Kenney emphases for the year: polio, membership development, telling people what we do, health and hunger, and clean water.

The District Governor recognized Joe pace for 10 years of RYLA leadership
