District Governor's Message
 
July is Rotary Changeover Month.  This is when new leadership takes over at the 33,000+ Rotary Clubs in the 520+ Districts and at Rotary International.  Shekhar Mehta has taken over as President of Rotary International, your Clubs have new leadership teams, and in your District, we have a new dynamic leadership team of proven managers.
 
Just before the beginning of every Rotary Year, the incoming President of Rotary International unveils the theme for the year.  The Theme for President Mehta's year is "Serve to Change Lives".  Unified under this theme we embark on our journey in this new Rotary year
 
What we must all understand is that the District was created by Rotary International and it reports to the President and Board of Directors of Rotary International through the District Governor, who is an officer of Rotary International.  The District has two important functions.  The first function is to work with our Clubs to educate and ask them to function in compliance with Rotary International’s bylaws and the requests and requirements of the President and Board of Rotary International.  The second key function is to assist our Clubs with the best job possible.

MILLION MASK CHALLENGE - TAKE 2
What a day to jump for joy! District 7230 was part of the Million Mask Challenge Tour Take 2. We received approximately 300,000 masks on Thursday, January 14th, through the generosity of the Rossi Family Foundation and Rotarians throughout the Northeast. The masks distributed at stops in White Plains, Harlem, and Staten Island will be shared with at least fifty organizations in the New York portion of our District. This is in addition to the well over $500,000 in cash and in-kind donations that the District 7230 Rotary family has poured into our communities in response to COVID-19. Check out the local TV-news coverage on our YouTube Channel!
 
IMPORTANT CLUB TO-DO'S
  • Select your 2020-21 club leadership and enter those officers in http://www.rotary7230.org.
  • Want more money available for Rotary Foundation grants in 2022-23? Encourage every member of your club to donate at least $25 to the Annual Fund. Commit to being an Every Rotarian EveryYear club today! 
  • It's not too late to establish your club's 2020-21 goals in Rotary Club Central's Goal Center. Setting goals in the Goal Center will help your club measure its impact and is the only way that your club can be recognized with a Rotary Citation for all the good work that you do. The brief video tutorial linked below will show you how.
