Memories of the 2019 Rotary Peace Conference! Such a great planning committee of dedicated Rotarians! Thank You for your service!
Don, our International General Secretary, John Hewko, is from Ukraine, so a lot of support District wide, Nationally and as well as Internationally has been in the direction of Ukraine in their defense of the aggressiveness of Putin's Russia.
Serious question: Is Rotary doing anything about Russia’s war on Ukraine? Or Communist China’s war on Taiwan and the USA? Aside from luncheons, we deserve to know what you are doing for peace.
DGE Michael Soden, RI Director Elect Dan Himelspach, RI Director Vicki Puliz, RI President Elect Gordon McInally, and DGN Michael Driebe pictured at the graduation of Governor Elect and Governor Nominee training! Congratulations and thank you for serving District 5300!
Way to go, Mike and Mike...!!

The Five Avenues of Service
Club Service
Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan.
Vocational Service
Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. Learn more in An Introduction to Vocational Service and the Code of Conduct.
Community Service
Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. Learn more in Communities in Action: A Guide to Effective Projects and this Community Service presentation (PPT).
International Service
International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.
Youth Service
Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange.
