On September 19, 2024, we had the honor of a visit by both Rachel Ossyra - our District Governor for District 6450, as well as Michelle Balog – our Club Advocate.

Rachel shared with us, the essence of what is going on in our district, as well as across Rotary International. The slogan this year is “Let’s Make Rotary Simply Irresistible!” Rachel went on to say that Rotary International has embraced the support of the Cubs with a club-centric and a member-centric approach; as the case throughout the years, the clubs are the most important entities in Rotary Internaional.

Rachel went on to say that service projects should be increasingly experienced, with the “joy of hands – on experiences.“ Rotary has continued to be more diverse, as exemplified by the organization currently being comprised of 26% women of Rotary International.

The district has now gained 50 new members - already half of its goal for the 2024-2025 year, as well as two new clubs - also half of it goal for the year.

Rachel went on to say, that our club should consider the development of both a Facebook and Instagram presence. She passed along the name of the two people who could be contacted for our efforts in this regard.
