“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do”. Steve Jobs
 
Welcome to August – a month dedicated to building the TEAM – your club, our district, and beyond. Surrounding yourself with the right people is always key – as Steve Jobs shares in his famous quote and commercial – the crazy ones, the people who see things differently are often the ones that change the world.  I’m incredibly grateful to have those “people” Steve references, on our District 6250 Team.   It brings me such JOY to plan, create, inspire and of course, enjoy fellowship with 6250 Rotarians. You are creating HOPE in all that you do. THANK YOU!
 
As you lean into August, I encourage you to continue to work diligently to nurture your current members, as well as seek new members. Building your team at the club level is an important step in creating a vibrant club culture.  Whether you’re looking to create a bench for your committee, planning for an event, or simply gathering for fellowship, nothing is more important than the people you surround yourself with – the team. The Learning Center on My Rotary is a great place to find resources to attract and engage members of your team.  Just click HERE
 
From a district and beyond level, we are focusing on engaging Rotarians in exciting leadership opportunities. Let’s build our team together. We know that our clubs are filled with incredible leaders.  Some key positions we are looking to fill are:  Membership Chair, Assistant Governors for Areas 2/3/6/10/11, DEI Chair, Tri-Con Vice Chair, and so many more. If you are interested in joining our District 6250 Leadership Team, please reach out to me to learn about these exciting opportunities. Also, please share these opportunities at club meetings and in your club communication. Together we can make impactful change and create hope. Learn more HERE.
 
I am also excited to share that our efforts to prioritize mental health and wellness will launch this September.  Our Mental Health Task Force has been working diligently to form partnerships, engage members, and create content and programming to educate our club members around the topic of mental health and wellness.  More on that below!
 
It is an honor to serve beside you on the District 6250 Team.  Hope lives in ALL that we do together.
