I often look to, and point to, the district’s north star. Our north star is our mission - to strengthen and support clubs. In every interaction with your district, we hope that the experience will leave you strengthened and supported. That is our district’s only measure of success.
Our mission is fulfilled in a relationship with you. We are responsible to you. You are responsible to us.
Our invitations to events and meetings will satisfy your need for strength and support, because exploring what’s offered meets an interest of yours. Our grants will satisfy your need for strength and support because the focus and funding help you improve and execute what you are already planning to achieve.
Our encouraging words and stories will satisfy your need for strength and support because they ring true with your own hopes and dreams. Our ideas for service and partnership will satisfy your need for strength and support because you are already curious about refreshed service and new partners. Our club visioning work will satisfy your need for strength and support because you have the energy to move forward in an intentional way.
We are serving.
Our service to you will improve when it fails to satisfy your need for strength and support because you communicate honestly, directly, and constructively about your experience.
We are listening.
We need each other. The need draws us into club-district partnerships that are full of strength, respect, appreciation, action, and growth. And growth is our shared success.

Together we.
P.S. Sitting in the office of Rotary Club of Fort Atkinson President Margaret and chatting about updates, I asked, “Do you have kids?” In response she showed me this. So yes, yes, she does have kids. I’ve never laid eyes on a family quite like hers.
It puts me in mind to tell you to watch for our 6250’s response to President Shekhar’s emphasis on Empowering Girls. Watch for more in February or March. We’ll champion our “girls” and the allies around them that encouraged their empowerment. Maybe you’ll share your story with us.
Yours in Fellowship and Service,
District Governor Karen
6250 District Governor 2021-2022
