ROTARY DISTRICT 6630 CONNECTIONS

JUNE  2023 GOVERNORS MESSAGE
 
 
 
 
 
June 2023
 
My Fellow Rotarians,
 
It has been a real honor to serve as your District Governor this year and I will miss it.  The year has passed by so quickly.  I’ve spoken of it many times but one of the most humbling part of the position is to visit a Club and learn about all of the wonderful programs they are pursuing on their own.  I was able to visit 46 of our Clubs in person this year.  What a great honor!  You all welcomed Georgeann and me and made us feel like we were members of your wonderful Rotary families.  Thank you for that.
 
A Rotary District exists to serve the Clubs, just as the Clubs exist to serve the Members.  Our current theme, “IMAGINE” is a perfect summary for this rotary year.  As we IMAGINED meeting in person again, reconnecting with our friends and the community, building new connections and partnerships in our community, we truly IMAGINED a better future for our clubs.  Our clubs accepted the challenge and inducted nearly 200 new members, we welcomed the new Rotary Club of Northeast Ohio (Formally the E-Club NEO) and we are planning for two new Rotaract Clubs over this next year. Our clubs have IMAGINED new projects and partnerships with more than 30 clubs submitting grants to our grants committee for local projects. Thank you to our members for committing resources and funding to help in the Ukraine, Kentucky, Florida and many other regions that have been devastated by natural disasters.  Thank you for your donations to the Annual Fund and Polio Plus Fund which have been outstanding. Thank you for your generosity.  
 
We have truly IMAGINED a better future for our clubs, our members and our communities.  More importantly you have IMAGINED and delivered a change in yourself.  I believe that by committing to “Service above Self”, our own lives will change for the better.    
 
You have made me laugh, provided me friendship, helped me grow as a leader and we all had FUN.

I cannot thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to help our district grow.
 
Dave
 
 
Fellowship has been one of the reasons Paul Harris created Rotary over 118 years ago.  Rotarians have joined Rotary to make a difference in the community, working together on projects, fund raisers, club meetings, social events; fellowship burgeoned, and became one of the reasons we stay.
 
Fellowship is a part of Rotary Club life and as we IMAGINE this year our clubs have returned to many activities that they had missed. Taking part in celebrating our first responders, Foundation Walk, multi-club pub evenings, BBQs, wine and cheese evenings, Veterans Day Parade, park cleanup, walks, bike rides and many more. Without fellowship and common interest members will soon find other places for their time.  I encourage you to look at and join one or more world-wide Rotary Fellowships on the Rotary.org website. Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a Rotary Fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience. Explore our fellowships or start your own.

JUNE 20 - CLEVELAND HOSTING BILL LaPLACE MEMORIAL GOLF OUTING
Bill LaPlace Memorial Golf Outing Scheduled for June 20
 
The Rotary Club of Cleveland has announced that it will host a golf outing in memory of PDG Bill LaPlace on Tuesday, June 2, 2023, at Coppertop Golf Course in Valley City, Ohio. Bill was a 50-plus year member of the Rotary Club of Cleveland, which he joined in 1968. He served the club as president in 1986-87, as president of the Cleveland Rotary Foundation in 1990-91, and as treasurer of the Foundation for more than 30 years. Bill was District 6630 Governor in 1992-93, and he continued for many years as treasurer of the district.
 
A proud graduate of The Ohio State University, Bill not only earned an undergraduate degree in accounting and an MBA at OSU, but he interrupted his studies for a total of five years to serve as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. Following graduate school, Bill passed the CPA exam and began a lifelong career at the accounting firm of Haskins & Sells (now Deloitte) in Cleveland, where he retired after many years as a partner. Bill was active in many professional, civic, and social organizations. Bill passed away on January 31, 2023, in Columbus, OH, at the age of 95.
 
All District 6630 Rotarians are invited to honor PDG Bill LaPlace by participating in the golf outing. The price is $95 per person, which covers greens fee, cart, lunch, and a buffet dinner. The shotgun-start scramble will begin at 9:00 a.m. Bag lunches will be served at the turn, and dinner will begin at about 3:00 p.m. For those who only want to attend the dinner, the price will be $30. Beer and soft drinks are included with both meals.
 
To register for the outing (for golf or dinner or both) or to get more information, email Cleveland Rotarian Ed Thomas at edthomascsu@gmail.com.
