This is a very difficult story for us to write.Today we made the decision to cancel the upcoming conference, which was scheduled for May 1-3 at Omni Hotel & Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi.
This is a very difficult story for us to write.Greetings to all Rotarians in District 5930!
As everyone is well aware of, we are all going through a very stressful time. We are literally in “uncharted waters”. I am sure each of you are concerned for the health and well-being of your family members, just as I am. So, we must take the necessary steps to protect ourselves, our loved ones and those around us. Rotary International is recommending that we cancel or postpone our upcoming Rotary meetings. Rotary is also asking that we continue to follow the guidelines set by the World Health Organization and your national, regional, or local health authorities.
So, with this in mind, I find it necessary to postpone our District Assembly that was scheduled for May 16, 2020.

As you are all aware we are now in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic. We as a District must take this seriously. We as a nation have been asked to avoid gathering in large groups and to observe social distancing in order to help quell the spread of this virus. Although online meetings are becoming more popular; unfortunately, most of our interactions today as Rotarians are still face to face.
As your District Governor and on behalf of your District 5930 Advisory Committee and at the direction of RI President Mark Maloney, we would suggest you cancel your club meetings for the short term. It is possible that you could alternatively hold meetings online using video conferencing and the District would be willing to help you with that. If your club has fundraisers planned over the next month we would further suggest you postpone them to a future date.

Dear Fellow Rotarian,
The COVID-19 coronavirus is affecting every aspect of our lives in real time, and this puts Rotarians in an unfamiliar place. As People of Action, we are most comfortable when we are fully engaged in the world – moving freely, meeting openly, and offering helping hands. These are very difficult times for people who, like us, are at our best when we are learning, growing, and serving – together.
