District Newsletter

Welcome Message from DG Kristine Redko continued..
But not every day is filled with song…we face challenges in ourselves, our families, our schools, our communities, and in a world full of chaos and even war. That is where the RI Global Theme, Unite for Good is so very relevant and important. Regardless of political party, county, religion or other identifier we are 1.2 million ROTARIANS…
And we, the Rotarians of District 5130, will UNITE FOR GOOD and:
– Seek Roads of Peace
– Develop Conflict Resolution Tactics
– Fight Human Trafficking
– Strive to Understand and Support Mental Health Issues
– Nourish the Food Insecure
– Clean our Air and Water
– Mentor and Protect our Youth
– Build Better Friendships
– End Polio
– And so much more…
My commitment to you is to continue to water the beautiful flowers that District 5130 leaders before me have planted, while planting a few new seeds as well, as we address current issues and solve problems.
And we will do this together – each singing our own song along the way – but somehow uniting under ONE voice when the Rotary year is done.
