October 2022
October is upon us and many of us are enjoying college and professional football, the cooler weather, the beauty in the changing of the leaves and the fellowship we enjoy as we visit with friends and family. I truly love Ohio in the fall.
The first quarter of the Rotary year has passed with many memories and achievements. I want to thank the Rotary Club of Medina Sunrise for welcoming me on my first official club visit. During the first quarter, I visited more than 25 clubs in the District and met many Rotarians.
I am amazed to see that each club is excited about meeting in person and renewing club projects, service activities and raising funds for their community.
Thank you for sharing your projects with me as I continue to visit and speak with each member, hearing their experiences as they work in his or her way to serve the community and the world.
Please contact me at dejrotary@gmail.com or 330-603-4107 to schedule your visit.
October 24th is World Polio Day
Our district has been a strong supporter of the End Polio Now campaign. In July we held our Guardians End Polio event. Over 300 fellow Rotarians attended the game and helped us raise $6000 for Polio. As October 24 approaches I would like to encourage each club to participate in a Polio Awareness event. On or around October 24th wear your End Polio Now tee shirts and plan a walk through your downtown, have a social event, have a friendly softball game with another service organization, have FUN and promote the End Polio Cause.I would encourage your club to have a meeting to discuss Polio and show some of the inspiring videos from survivors or an inspirational video from Rotary. Rotary Polio Plus Initiative. Join Rotary for World Polio Day as global health experts and partners share our progress on the road to polio eradication.

Fall is a great time to celebrate family. Our clubs should plan family events to the local fall festival, visit your nearest Zoo for BOO Fest, plan a day at a local park to have lunch with your family members and invite the clubs from your cluster to join you as we celebrate our Rotary Family.
