President's Message March 2024

“Water is life, and clean water means health”  Audrey Hepburn

 

Happy March everyone.  Days are getting longer and flower bulbs are shooting up out of the ground. Mine will need a little extra water though, after a dry winter.

 

In 1992, United Nations adopted a resolution that declared March 22 of each year World Day for Water.  March is clean water month in Rotary.  Through water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs, Rotary's people of action mobilize resources, form partnerships, and invest in infrastructure and training that yield long-term change. Over the past several years, Rotary has shifted its focus to also emphasize education, collaboration, and sustainability in WASH.   It amazes me how many worthy causes Rotary supports.

 

This year’s Rotary International priority is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  Check out the District 6250 Facebook page for smiles, joy and hope.

Registration for our District RYLA Camp is open, as is our need for Rotarian staffers. RYLA or Rotary Youth Leadership Awards is a weekend youth leadership experience at Camp Upham Woods in Wisconsin Dells for sophomores in high school.  Each student registration is $250 and the experience they receive in return is a life changing one full of strong connections, inspiring activities, an introduction to Rotary and a weekend of memories. RYLA delegates make a great club program and are a great example of the awesome youth programs that are offered here in District 6250.
