--MEET OUR NEW DISTRICT GOVERNOR--
District Governor Erin’s Messageimage
 
Happy New Rotary Year!  
If we haven’t met in person (or via Zoom) yet, here are three things you should know about me:
  1. I have a four-year-old daughter, Emerson.
  2. I am married to Dan.
  3. I have the wildest career path (feel free to ask about it!), but everything I’ve done has been centered around creating change.
...and #3 is really great because our theme this year is “Serve to Change Lives”!
 
 
As we start this new Rotary year, take a look at your clubs, your communities, and the world.  Consider how we can remove barriers to allow current and future Rotarians the opportunity to serve to change lives. 
imageThere are a lot of exciting things planned for this year!     I look forward to connecting with each of you and learning about all of the amazing contributions our Rotarians make. I am extremely honored to serve as your District Governor for 2021-2022.  I sincerely appreciate all of your support and enthusiasm as we look forward to a great year!
 Sincerely,
Erin Shankie
District Governor
District 6330
