On August 25 the District Governor for Rotary District 6910, Bill Strickland, spoke to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville at the noon meeting.  In explaining what Rotary means to him, his summary characterization was “fun!”  He then discussed various elements of Rotary that were important to him. First was the Foundation and all the good that it does locally and in the world.  He characterized it as “our charity,” which incidentally returns benefits in the form of district grants. He cited specifically projects delivering medical equipment, providing water resources, aiding the Alliance for Smiles, and helping in the eradication of polio. He recommended the experience of attending an international meeting of Rotary, next year in Brazil.  He is proud of Rotary’s interaction with young people through Interact, Rotaract, RYLA, the Youth Exchange, and GRSP.  He challenged members to introduce two new members to Rotary this year.  After encouraging members to attend the Leadership Institute in January in Athens and the District Conference at Hilton Head in April, he closed with the poem “To Be a Rotarian.”
