Greetings from District Governor Shanon O'Toole! 

 

Greetings fellow District 6580 Rotarians!

March was an exciting Month in District 6580. I have so much gratitude for Rotary and especially the Rotarians in our District. There were so many successful fundraisers, service projects, and events! It was also Women’s History Month and Rotary’s Water Sanitation Month. We also had President Elect Training in Effingham, which was a tremendous success.

Our District Conference is less than 3 weeks away. I invite each of you to attend and bring someone that has not been there before. The District Conference team has put together an amazing day full of inspiration and celebration. District Conferences have been my favorite events since I joined Rotary.

My first conference was in Evansville, which is where I really understood what Rotary was all about. I think each Rotarian should have this experience. We have a line-up of speakers and breakout that will motivate you, give you joy, opportunities to learn, and socialize.

We have also made sure that everything is accessible from Closed Caption screens in the ballroom, to elevators and escalators, great food options for any dietary needs, and plenty of comfortable spots to relax and enjoy fellowship. Please sign up this week.

I recommend that everyone follow our District Facebook page to keep up to date with what’s happening in our District. I would like to share a special “shout out” to Gretchen Ross, she is posting and sharing from each of our clubs. It’s always full of exciting happenings in our District.

I would also like to thank our clubs for focusing on growth! We are leading our Zones in new clubs, membership growth, and the highest percentage of Rotarians under 40 years old. This is a great accomplishment because it means we are sharing Rotary across multiple generations successfully.

I’m looking forward to seeing you in Evansville to celebrate!

Sincerely,
DG Shanon
