RALLYE 2020 - Important Notice from DG Randy & DGE Roberta
Dear District 5190 Rotarians:
 
After much deliberation, the decision has been made to cancel RALLYE, scheduled for April 24th – 26th. This also includes the Rotary Foundation Recognition Dinner and the Golf Tournament. The concerns around the COVID-19 virus are real and the immediate future of the course of this virus remains unknown.  Our priority and responsibility is the safety, health and well-being of all Rotarians and our communities. We apologize for any inconvenience but are confident all District 5190 Rotarians will understand this decision. We will keep you apprised of any plans to celebrate the 2019-2020 Rotary year as well as training for the incoming club leadership.
 
For those who have already registered for RALLYE, you will be receiving a full refund to your credit card. If you have a room reservation with the Nugget and wish to cancel, you must call the Hotel directly at 800-648-1177.
WELCOME TO ROTARY DISTRICT 5190



Rotary District 5190 is one of the largest districts in the world, covering over 96,000 miles in area! We are so large and far apart that we are divided into 13 geographic areas. By working together in their respective areas our clubs are able to give back to their local communities stronger than would be possible for a single club. We do great things in our communities and the world. We welcome you to visit with us and hopefully consider joining us in "Doing Good In The World".

TOGETHER WE SEE A WORLD
WHERE PEOPLE UNITE AND TAKE ACTION
TO CREATE LASTING
CHANGE ACROSS THE GLOBE
IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND IN OURSELVES

DISTRICT GOVERNOR`S MONTHLY MESSAGE

From The Back of The Bike. . . 


March is “Water and Sanitation” month on the Rotary calendar. Consider programs this month focusing on water and sanitation projects in your community and engage other organizations dealing with those issues to partner on a project. Our District Community, International and Foundation committees are on the back of your bike ready to assist you with ideas and implementation.
 
We continue 0ur Mid-Year visits; visit and Foundation Dinner with Area 12 in Alturas on March 12th, visit with Area 10 in Fernley on March 14th, visit and Foundation Dinner with Area 3 in Incline Village March 16th, visit and Foundation Dinner with Area 5 in Auburn on March 19th, breakfast club visit with the Sierra Passport Club in Auburn on March 20th, visit and Foundation Dinner with Area13 in Bishop on March 26th, and visit with Area9 via Go to Meeting on March 27th. Chris and I are thoroughly enjoying interacting with all the great Rotarians in 5190!
 
The first weekend of March and DGE Roberta Picket and the PE’s from across 5190 are off to San Jose and PETS.  We wish them save travels and powerful experiences. Be ready for your PE to return fired up and ready to get going with Rotary year 2020-2021.
 
Elsewhere in this newsletter is more information about RALLYE. We look forward to seeing you at the Nugget! Our efforts have been focused on reducing travel and the number of Rotary weekends without reducing the quality or impact. The learning sessions are filled with information and the events are packed with fun.  Register on our District website.
