A District Governor’s Reflections
Greetings, District 5130!
Maternal and child health is one of Rotary’s main causes. Rotary makes health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger. It is estimated that close to 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation, which can all be prevented. Rotary clubs and districts dedicate their efforts to improve access to quality care so that mothers and children can have long-serving opportunities for a healthy future.
Projects to support mothers and children include mobile prenatal clinics, cancer screening, immunizations, and training on how to protect themselves and their children from disease.
Unite for Good,
Kristine Redko
District Governor, 2025-26

Sad news: PDG Larry Myers passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully on April 6th. A charter member of the Rotary Club of South Ukiah, we was a staunch End Polio Now advocate, serving as the district's chair for many years.
Keep Jill and her family in your thoughts.
