Rotary District 5650 Rotarians—Welcome to June! “June is the pearl of summer, shining with warmth and joy.” (L.M. Montgomery), art, music, baseball, softball, soccer, rodeo, family picnics, swimming pools, gardens, green grass & crops, grazing cattle, fishing and so much more including the Rotary International Convention June 13-17th, in Taipei, Taiwan where projected attendance will number 37,000 Rotarians & guests from all over the world!! https://convention.rotary.org/en-us/
The Rotary International Convention will be an amazing life-changing event!! 13 Rotarians & guests from our Rotary District registered to attend. Please let me know if you would like any of them to be a speaker at one of your upcoming Rotary Club meetings when they return. I know they would be glad to share their amazing experiences and new friendships with you and your community!!
That brings me to Rotary’s Area of Focus for June – Rotary Fellowships.
Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.
Please visit the link listed below to learn about 120+ fellowships that you can join:
Enjoy this month of June. Join a Rotary Fellowship and make new friends around the world!!

June is also the last month of my 2025-26 year as your District Governor. It has been such an honor to meet and serve all of you this past year!! I am so proud of everything you have done to serve your communities and the world to “Unite for Good”!!
As I hand the torch of service July 1st, to incoming District Governor, Gretchen Bren, 2026-27, I know that we are in great hands!!
Finally, remember to invite a guest to your Rotary Club meeting. Grow your membership. One meeting could change their life and yours as well.
Focus on your Rotary Club experience for your members and guests.
