District Governor:
Elaine Hansen
Thank you to everyone who participated in the October 23 to 25 2024-2026 District Conference ! We had representation from throughout the District, good sessions, great speakers, and FUN!!! The committee worked hard and they delivered on a wonderful event. If you have not attended a District Conference, plan to attend the 2026 conference next October in Brainerd.
November is Foundation month! Let us celebrate the wonders The Rotary Foundation accomplishes.
Some ideas to celebrate in a meaningful way:
• Informative conversations about The Rotary Foundation - talk with Dave Long our District Foundation Chair, "Dr. Bob" McClellan on what an annual fund contribution can do; or Gary and Cindy Nolte about Rotary's PolioPlus efforts.
• Grant workshops - has your Club applied for a District Grant? Matching grants can be used for large and small projects;
• A Fundraising campaign in your club to make all members Paul Harris Fellows;
• Recognize your Club donors and service leaders; and
• Carry out service projects in the community.

We need your leadership to help raise funds and awareness for the Rotary Foundation this Giving Tuesday, December 2.
This global day of generosity is an opportunity for all Rotary members to make a big impact with a gift of any size. A donation to the Annual Fund-SHARE supports
projects you are passionate about, both in your community and around the world. A gift to PolioPlus helps transport vaccines and immunize children to keep them safe.
One of my Rotary friends who consistently gives to The Rotary Foundation has said "I can make a difference with my gifts as an individual, but when I contribute to The Rotary Foundation my contribution makes a difference in the world!" That is an example of a way to Unite for Good!
