District Governor's Message
Rotary Shares in many ways during this season and it is most fitting that our theme this month is Family Month. Throughout December our clubs will be busy with socials including their families, parties for the youth of the community, meals and gifts for needy families and the sharing of goodwill and the holiday spirit. We might also enjoy performances by local students at our club meetings. It is that time of year when we thrive on spreading goodwill and cheer throughout our communities. There may also be sharing with international partners and clubs to brighten their season. This is truly a month in which our activities will exemplify our theme.
