Welcome to the Rotary District 5930 ENERGY Report.
 
WOW! The first 30 days have been full of excitement and a “Things To Do List”.  Our Rotary Club Central has finally Launched and it proves to be easier and more efficient.  I want to THANK our Rotary Clubs that worked diligently to post their goals for Rotary Year 2017-2018.  I also want to THANK our District Trainer, Adam Lara along with our Leadership Team of Rotary ROCKSTARS.  As of July 28th, I have performed 5 Club Installations, 10 Club Visits , 3 Club Socials, oh and attended a Corpus Christi Hooks baseball game.
I also want to THANK District Secretary/Asst. Governor Area 4 Nancy Ross for making the arrangements for my Club Visits.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the Texas Hospitality and getting to know our District 5930 Rotarians.
