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.

An excellent example has been the local telephone book fundraiser that started in Camden and Cazenovia and has spread ot Rome, Chittenango, Canastota, Hamilton, Oriskany Falls, Morrisville, and Rome. These clubs have found this to be the “asked for” Rotary program that serves a need. This program not only provides dollars for other projects but puts the "Rotary" name in every home. What club had the most outstanding projects in 2003-2004? Come to our District COG with your members to help these clubs celebrate their accomplishments!

New this year: The District Governor would like to recognize any member in attendance who has perfect attendance, as well as any 25 year + members. New this year: 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 2003-2004? Come to our District Changing of the Guard with your members to help these clubs celebrate their accomplishments! What does District Governor Andrea Ives feel were our most memorable accomplishments as we "Lent a Hand" in District 7150? Join us at the Rusty Rail to help Andrea celebrate our successes.

What lies ahead? District Governor Elect Jim Austin describe his dreams and goals for our District as we "Celebrate Rotary " in 2004-05. Join us on Thursday, June 26 at 6 PM for a social hour and a fabulous buffet dinner at 7 PM.

Pictures of our President Elects will be taken between 6:30 pm and 7:00 pm.
