We welcomed our District Governor, Marlene Gargulak.  She is a member of the Rice Lake Rotary Club and has been doing a lot of travel of late visiting many clubs.  She handed out “Be a Gift to the World” pins, bookmarks and reminders of upcoming events.  DG Marlene gave us 4 areas to consider this year.  She also challenged us to think about how Rotary can bring out our “Best Selves”.
Her 4 areas of importance were as follows:
 
  • Combining talents makes everyone DO better.
  • Look to help the environment with the Pollinator Project (Click Here)– create a bee and butterfly area along the I35 corridor.
  • Let’s take a look at our communities – do our clubs reflect what is in our local communities? 
  • Economic Development – let’s all support the Rotary Foundation for Polio and other initiatives important internationally.
