News & Information from Rotary District 5930

Mid-Month Edition October 2016

Your District and Club Needs You!

As the District prepares for two upcoming events, we need stories and pictures from you our members and our clubs.
 
For our November 12th Foundation Centennial Birthday Dinner we are looking for story boards (think science fair three-panels or PowerPoints) telling the stories of
  • fundraisers, (can you guess the club that sold manure with all proceeds going to the Foundation?)
  • grant projects, and (DDF Grants, Global scholars, Health, Hunger and Humanity Grants, please reach back into history)
  • any story abut your club and The Rotary Foundation. (Remember Group Study Exchange, Awards for Technical Training, Discovery Grants, First Paul Harris Fellow in your club, etc.)
You can also tell your story via a 2-3 minutes selfie video using your phone.
Contact Ellison Crider (ellisoncrider@gmail.com) for more Information.
 
The Rotary District 5930 District Conference will be held on May 4-7, 2017.  The event will be "kicked-off" in Harlingen, TX on Friday May 4th. We will be hosting a luncheon honoring the Anniversary of Women in Rotary.  On this exact same day, 30 years ago, Rotary allowed the first women into active membership in Rotary.  We would like to recognize the first woman inducted into each club around the District, the first woman District Governor and the first woman President for each club.  We would like to have each of these women in attendance if at all possible so that they may be recognized. 
 
At this time, I am asking for each club to submit to me a list of the first women into their clubs and provide a brief history as to their involvement in Rotary.  We hope to make this a very special program and want to include every club in the district.
