2014-15 District Governor Mike Wells and his wife Karlene (Tooele Rotary Club) shared their enthusiasm for Rotary and for RI President Gary Huang's theme for 2014-15 of “Light up Rotary” at the regular weekly meeting of SGR on Monday, October 13. DG Mike spoke of his love of youth - and of Rotary's excellent youth programs and told of his experiences taking more than 200 youth to build houses in Mexico.
He spoke of the importance of staying on course with RI’s goal to eradicate polio from the earth by 2018. Currently, only 3 countries in the world had any new cases in the past twelve months: Nigeria (6 new cases), Afghanistan (5 new cases) and Pakistan (nearly 100 new cases). In short, “we are this close,” he reminded members.
He invited members to attend any and all “conferences, institutes and conventions” to develop a deeper understanding of Rotary and how this organization is changing the world.
Finally, he encouraged everyone to attend the District 5420 conference
in Mexico during the week of June 8-15. “We will work on about 60 projects each
day until noon … then play all afternoon until it is time to fiesta each
evening,” he said of the plans for this exciting event to help the people of
Puerto Penasco. More information - or to register for the conference - can be found on the website at www.districtfiesta2015.com. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a
difference thru Rotary!
