Membership Momentum
We started this Rotary year on July 1 with 1410 members, and as of January 28, 2025, we have 1460 members—a net gain of 50 members! Our goal is to reach at least a net 1510 members by the end of this Rotary year—which means just 50 more to go! Let’s keep the momentum going by engaging and retaining our current members while attracting new ones. Together, we can catch that membership dream!
Foundation Focus
As of December 2024, Rotary Foundation participation has grown by 10%, and PolioPlus by 4%—great progress, but we’re only halfway there. Our goal: 100% giving district. Every contribution changes lives, strengthens communities, and amplifies our global impact. If your club hasn’t contributed yet, please do so by March 31st to be recognized at the District Conference in April.
Let’s make District 5930 a symbol of generosity & Impact worldwide!
Public Image: Strengthening Our Presence
With 85% of our clubs active on social media and 52% maintaining active websites, we're making great progress—but let’s reach 100%! A strong digital footprint attracts members, showcases impact, and boosts community engagement. Update your websites and social media with Rotary-branded content and share your club’s story. Together, we can amplify our impact!
Rotary in Action: Moments of Magic
January was filled with incredible experiences, and I had the honor and pleasure of attending some truly inspiring events!
- Laredo Gateway’s Paul Harris Fellow Dinner – It was an honor to celebrate generosity and service with remarkable Rotarians and community leaders who are making a difference!
- Victoria Northside’s Vegas Night – I had the pleasure of joining this fun-filled evening, where fun and generosity combined to raise funds for a great cause! While in Victoria, I had the privilege of meeting Olivia from Barcelona. A beautiful reminder that Rotary is more than service—it’s about empowering youth and building dreams across borders!
