Increasing engagement within our District’s clubs is an exciting goal – and one I know we all look forward to achieving this year! With your help, we can increase the value of Rotary membership through fun and friendships, enhancing the satisfaction of service and developing pride in our individual development.
To assist our Club and District Governor’s leadership teams in help us understanding your insights, opinions and needs, you will be receiving an invitation this week to participate in a special District-wide membership survey. Please complete the survey by no later than Wednesday, July 24. Important: We need at least half of our members to participate! Thank you!
Thank you in advance for your participation and assistance with this important project!

Message From the President's:
Health Benefits of Volunteering.
In addition to helping organizations you care about and the people they serve, volunteering can also have key health benefits for you. Here are six ways volunteering can improve your health:
1. Decreased risk of depression especial for people 65 and older
2. Increased sense of life purpose and meaning
3. Reduced isolation through meeting others and developing new relationships
4. Better overall health, especially for people 60 and older
5. Decreased pain intensity
6. Increased life expectancy
