As we step into the final month of this incredible Rotary year, I find myself filled with gratitude, pride, and joy as I reflect on the journey we have shared.

Serving as your District Governor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. From visiting clubs and witnessing the passion in your service projects, to celebrating milestones and forging new friendships, every moment has reinforced what makes Rotary so uniquely powerful—people of action coming together to make a difference in our communities and our world.

This year has been a testament to our collective commitment to Service Above Self. Whether through local initiatives, global grants, youth programs, or fellowship events, your energy, creativity, and resilience have inspired me daily. You’ve proven that no challenge is too great when we work together with purpose and heart.

As we prepare to pass the torch to the next leadership team, let us finish strong. Let’s continue to show our communities the impact Rotary makes—not just through words, but through action. And let’s celebrate everything we’ve achieved, TOGETHER.

Thank you for the joy, the trust, the memories and the opportunity to serve as your District Governor. It has been a privilege to serve you, and I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you, in Rotary fellowship and service. Please continue to use The Magic of Rotary to share with others the great work we do so we can continue to Influence Change!
