From Your Governor #5 (November 2019)
Nov 06, 2019
We had a wonderful District Conference Part 1 with capacity attendance.  The social media components and the panel discussion on Diversity were the highlights of the day.  As I have emphasized during my visits to our Clubs, we must make extra efforts to restore our public image. We aren't visible enough and the world doesn't know what we are doing.  Thank you for attending.  Those of you who missed it be sure to join in for the District Conference Part 2 on 18 April 2020..
 
Our District has gone through sad moments last month as we unexpectedly lost our Co-Chair of the District PolioPlus Committee and President of the Yonkers-East Yonkers Club Shahid Latif.  Shahid was a relentless champion in the fight to eradicate Polio. When we reach our goal, polio will become only the second human disease eradicated on the planet, and Rotary will receive international acclaim. But what matters most is the children who will never again have to face this terrible, disabling virus. Rotary must continue to connect the world in the effort toward polio eradication. It is up to us. Let us finish the job.
 
November is Rotary Foundation month.  We need to renew our commitment to our communities by supporting the best organization - our Rotary Foundation – It is through the Foundation that our Clubs can leverage their resources for the greatest impact, in our communities and across the globe. Your support is what keeps our Foundation great.

" Rotary educated members about plans to create the UN through numerous articles in The Rotarian and through a booklet titled From Here On! When the time came to write the UN charter, Rotary was one of 42 organizations the United States invited to serve as consultants to its delegation at the San Francisco Conference.
 
Through a series of flash talks, engaging breakouts and plenary speeches, this event offers expansive opportunities for the public to learn about and support projects in refugee settlements and beyond. Guests will first-hand experiences of resettled refugees, humanitarian actors and individuals creating community-based solutions that empower refugees, leverage their talents, and connect them to opportunities.
 
Among the speakers at the Rotary Day at the UN are President Mark Maloney, General Secretary John Hewko, Director at the UN, Maher Nasser,  Officials from UNICEF and UNHCR. District 7230 Past District Governor George Camp will also be a featured speaker.  Here is a link to the program for the Day.

From Your Governor #4 (October 2019)
Oct 01, 2019
A quarter of this Rotary year has gone by.  We are slowly but surely, beginning to turn our District, on to a positive course.  We now have an active multi-year leadership group, looking at elements of our district, which will require sustained efforts, over a number of years. Substantial improvements will begin to be felt, in Membership efforts, Club Management, Club performance, Club Technology, and of course, Public Image.  All of this, will have a positive impact on Club morale, as we energize ourselves into dynamic action.
 
With this as our goal, we’ve arranged a dynamite District Conference Part I for you.  As you must have seen from the emails, and website and Facebook postings, Saturday 26 October will be all about you, your Clubs, and what you have asked for, by way of District help and support.  We will address Membership issues, Club Management, Public Image, and Technology. Click here for Conference Program  If there are any particular elements you’d like addressed, please send them on, and we’ll try to weave them in. (send to 7230rotary@gmail.com)  The sessions will be interactive, and we’ll have a general Q & A, at the end of the day.  Register Now to join.
