GOVERNOR'S CORNER
February 2023
Happy February Rotarians! I cannot believe how quickly January went!
 
This month, we’re going to be doing a push for POLIO! We really did not do a large push in the fall because of our Foundation Event, so I would like for us to really make an effort to get to our goal of $25,000 for the year. We are currently at $19,984! 50 district Rotarians committing to $100 a year will get us there.
 
*NEW!* Rotary International has started the Polio Plus Society. This is for anyone who commits to giving $100 to Polio every year. (This is super easy to do by setting up an automatic withdrawal online at rotary.org). If you have already committed to $100 annually, please let me or your Club President know - I have special pins for you!
 
Membership Update: Our district is currently down 26 members from the beginning of the year. We’ve had 17 clubs with a positive net growth so far this year - with the Rotary Club of Perry Township leading the pack with an impressive 29% growth! Way to go Perry!
 
The downside of this is that we’ve had 21 clubs lose members. Please remember our focus this year of caring for the members that we have and reminding them why they joined Rotary. Take the time to find out why they are considering leaving before they actually leave.
 
President Elects! PETS (President Elect Training Seminar) is quickly approaching. The deadline to reserve your spot is February 28. Remember - this extremely valuable and inspiring program is mandatory for you to take part in prior to your presidential year. If you cannot attend in Ohio in March, you must find another place to do it.
 
SAVE THE DATE for the upcoming District Conference to be held in Canton June 16-17, 2023. The committee from the Rotary Club at Canton has already come up with some really fun and exciting ideas for you to enjoy!
