It is not too late to still make your club’s commitment for RYLA 2023, but you must do so TODAY. We are hoping that every club will sponsor 2 students. Has your club completed the pledge form? Club commitment forms need to be turned in electronically today, Monday January 23, 2023.
The topic most consistently requested for a webinar has been to cover the Facebook Business Manager. The Zone 34 Public Image Team heard you loud and clear and they have lined up an expert to cover what you need to know about how to use this tool for your Rotary club. The webinar will feature our own Carolyn Mudgette from The Rotary Club of St. Augustine Sunrise. Carolyn currently serves as the District Grants Chair-elect for District 6970. You can sign up at the Public Image Website.
On Saturday March 25 at Beachside High School in St. Augustine, we will be doing District Grant Training for those clubs planning to apply for grants during the 2023/24 Rotary year. More details will be forthcoming. Two club members who will be involved in your grant submission are required to attend.
On Sunday January 15, Maureen and I had a chance to visit District 6990 in Miami and have dinner with Rotary International President Jennifer Jones and husband Nick Krayacich. She is clearly bringing Rotary to new heights as she shatters the glass ceiling in so many ways.

It is great to be back out visiting clubs at both meetings and fundraisers. This is clearly the best part of being your District Governor!
