WELCOME to the DLTA 2008!
Governor 2008—2009, Brian Beagle
Barbara and I are excited about to
opportunity to serve as your District Governor for
2008-09. In our meetings with the incoming club
presidents we heard many wonderful ideas for projects
and club events. The role of the District is to support
each Rotary Club and to help Rotarians have a successful
year by implementing and completing worthwhile projects
both in their communities and internationally.
If our clubs are to be effective, they must be dynamic,
vital, energetic, and growing. The District Leadership
Training Assembly, scheduled for 23-24 February is
designed to provide information and training to do just
that. We recognize that your time is valuable, so the
District training team has constructed a schedule that
includes a full range of training and information
updates but still leaves time for fellowship.
The world around us is undergoing dramatic changes, and
so is Rotary. The need for programs focused on serving
our neighbors and to help improve the quality of life
for all has never been greater. The need for
understanding how our actions affect the lives of others
has never been more important. Rotary programs such as
Rotary Foundation, Group Study Exchange, Ambassadorial
and Peace Scholarships, Youth Exchange, Friendship
Exchange, and World Community Service Projects are just
some of the ways we can make a positive contribution.
We look forward to welcoming you all to the Fairmont
Empress on February 23rd to kick off the District
Leadership Training Assembly.
See you in Victoria,
Brian
