Welcome to Rotary District 5190

From The Back of The Bike. . . 

November is “Our Rotary Foundation” month on the Rotary calendar. Our Foundation Committees, chaired by PDG Wyn Spiller are ready, willing and able to jump on the back of your bike. Your Club’s support of our Foundation is very much appreciated.  As you may have heard, anyone signing up for Rotary Direct or increasing an existing Rotary Direct donation amount by the end of the year will receive a bonus 250 recognition points! Remember supporting our Foundation is supporting your local community. Half of the funds donated to the Annual Fund are ultimately returned to the District from which they came to support the projects of our Clubs.

Chris and I have thoroughly enjoyed the visits with Clubs through October and look forward to interacting with the rest of you. We have met some wonderful Rotarians and seen or heard about some amazing projects, programs, and partnerships. We are so proud to serve all the great Clubs in District 5190!

Thank you for supporting and recognizing World Polio Day! The events and projects were heartwarming and impressive. Remember send pictures of your World Polio Day activities to District Public Image chair Randy Rascati or #5190PolioDay. 

As we come to Thanksgiving, I am so truly thankful for the opportunity presented to me to serve as the District Governor of District 5190. The experiences have been amazing, the support from the District leadership team overwhelming, and the honor of interacting with the absolutely unbelievable Clubs and members sincerely humbling and inspiring. Chris and I are truly blessed to serve with and for you.     

Yours from the back of the bike,

Randy Van Tassell
