Tri-District Conference
"It always seems impossible until it's done!" 
~Nelson Mandela
 
Three days, three districts, three tremendous speakers.  400 Rotarians, 47 offerings in the Hall of Friendship, ten learning opportunities in the Breakout Sessions. Seventy students attending Virtual Camp Neidig and joining with countless Rotarians at 20 service projects held throughout D7430.  AND ......lots of fun with trivia, bingo and magic!! 
 
We have been using the word "together" much this Rotary year.  This past weekend brought a new definition to the word.  For what might have seemed impossible happened because all of us came together to do it!  
 
I am grateful to Betty Isaacs, Susan Burnett, Marlene Heller and Jean McGill; the D7430 Rotarians that served on the core committee for the conference.  Thank you to each and every one of you that participated in the many opportunities offered throughout the weekend.  
 
Our clubs are strong and vibrant.  I am confident we are ready to continue serving our communities and growing Rotary in D7430.
 
Yours in Rotary Service,
 
Janet

People of Action January 2021
What holds us together are Rotary’s Core Values.
 
Research Professor Brene Brown describes value as a way of being or believing that we hold most important.
 
These are Rotary’s core values:
Fellowship – the relationships and friendships that connect us all.
Integrity – when we choose what is right to do, not necessarily what may be easy.
Diversity – all people are welcome and valued to be part of our fellowship.
Service – the actions we take to help others.
Leadership – we show our leadership when we bring people together to act in service.
 
Living into our values means that we do more than profess them, we practice them.   The Rotary "People of Action" Stories being shared this year in the monthly videos show how we practice them in our District.  This month we thank DGE Bob, DGN Len and Diane DGND for sharing their stories.  We thank you for your leadership!

People of Action December 2020
The friendships and fellowship we enjoy as Rotarians continue to support the work of Rotary in our Clubs, District and around the world.   Watching the monthly videos and hearing People of Action stories, we realize the power of connection that continues to inspire us all.  I encourage you to take some time during this holiday season, and as we begin 2021, to reflect on your Rotary life and the opportunities it has given you.  Wishing you a most joyful holiday season!
