Welcome Letter

The Changing of the Guard is one meeting of the year we enjoy Rotarian fellowship. Outgoing presidents have the opportunity to share the pride they have with their club’s accomplishments, and incoming presidents are looking forward to a year of achievements that will be remembered.

We have great projects that our clubs run in their communities! To spread this knowledge each club president will have ONE minute to describe their club's most memorable accomplishment of the year. For any club that would like to distribute a written copy of a project, bring 48 copies and your host will distribute to the tables. By sharing ideas we can greatly improve our local accomplishments to improve our overall District 7150 impact.

What club had the most outstanding projects in 2005-2006? Come to our District COG with your members to help these clubs celebrate their accomplishments!

The District Governor would like to recognize any member in attendance who has perfect attendance, as well as any 25 year + members. Club Rotarian of Excellence: The District Governor would like to recognize a Rotarian from each club in the district. This person is recommended by the Board of Directors of each club.

What Clubs had the most outstanding projects in 2005-2006? Come to our District Changing of the Guard with your members to help these clubs celebrate their accomplishments! What does District Governor Jerry Gortner feel were our most memorable accomplishments as we "Celebrated Service Above Self" in District 7150? Join us at the Rusty Rail to help Jerry celebrate our successes.

What lies ahead? District Governor Elect Carol Anthony will describe her dreams and goals for our District as we "Lead the Way" in 2006-07. Join us on Thursday, June 29 at 6 PM for a social hour and a fabulous buffet dinner at 7 PM. - Larry Calabrese, District Governor 2008-09
