Hello District 6630 Family!
Happy November! As autumn colors peak across Northeast Ohio, we step into Rotary Foundation Month with so much to celebrate and look forward to across District 6630.
Here is a look at what’s happening in our district:
Celebrating World Polio Day Successes
Thank you to every club that organized awareness and fundraising campaigns as we wrapped up Polio Month on October 24! We saw fantastic local creative initiatives across the district:
- Purple Dunkin’ Donuts at select locations across Northeast Ohio.
- Specialty Coffee: A custom drink at Wall Street Coffee with the Jefferson Rotary Club.
- Fellowship & Fundraisers: Pints for Polio at New Purpose Brew Works in Chesterland.
- Craft Beer Partnership: A custom awareness label release from Hoppin’ Frog brewery in partnership with the Rotary Club of Akron.
Thank you for your tireless efforts to help fulfill our promise of a polio-free world!

Youth Leadership in Action: Interaction Weekend
This weekend, I am heading to Interaction, our district conference for high school Interact clubs. Engaging youth and fostering a lifelong Rotary connection is one of my core passions. These inspiring students will listen to a keynote speaker, engage in leadership activities, complete a service project, and select a district-wide service project for all Interact clubs to tackle together—with support from our Rotary clubs! Stay tuned to find out which initiative they choose as I work to help them discover a lifelong home in Rotary.
Connecting Across District 6630
I am thoroughly enjoying my visits to clubs throughout Northeast Ohio, especially exploring places I’ve never been before! From supporting local students and running blood drives to hosting community Halloween events and planting trees, our impact is felt everywhere.
Please keep sharing your inspiring stories, and don’t hesitate to invite me to your service projects—I would love to join you in action!
