This past year has been amazing for our District. We have exceeded our goals in membership, foundation, community service and Partnership development.  Our success was possible because of all of the dedicated Rotarians Leading their Clubs and our District committees.  During our District Awards ceremony and Banner Exchange on Saturday July 8th we honored Rotarians who IMAGINED Rotary and encouraged us to embrace “Service Above Self”.
 
I had the honor of working with great leaders during my year. Leaders who have a can do, will do attitude. Thank you to our committees and the Chairs who lead them. You are truly the change makers in our district.  
 
The District Board and Finance committees have the responsibility to ensure that the District is following Rotary International bylaws and the stewardship of our budget and spending plan. Thank you to Alexandra Jeanblanc of the Hillcrest Sunrise RC as she rotates off of the Board and Carrie Leising of the Stow-Monroe Falls RC as she rotates off of the Finance Committee.
