A Message From
Rotary International
President K.R. “Ravi”
Ravindran to the
Rotarians of D5690
30 April 2015
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
All of us reach a point in our lives when we must decide what we
want our legacy to be. Do we want to be remembered for the
material things we pursued or the relationships we nurtured? Do we
want others to recall only the cars we drove or the jobs we had when
they think of us? Will this world be better off for our having been in
it?
In Rotary, we know what legacy we are leaving for the world. When
Rotarians see a need, they meet it. When Rotarians see conflict,
they work to bring peace. Rotarians work every day to make the
world a better place.
We have all come to Rotary for different reasons, but we have
stayed in Rotary because it has brought out the best in us. It has
shown us the value of integrity, compassion, and dedication. In
Rotary, we now have family members around the world. In short,
Rotary has made us better people - people who want to make a
difference. Rotary has been a gift to each of us.
This year, we will give that gift to others. Whether that is through
participation in a National Immunization Day, a strategic partnership
funded by a Rotary grant, an invitation issued to someone to join
Rotary, or a simple act of goodwill, we will continue to share Rotary’s
good work with people around the globe. In telling our Rotary
stories, we will tell others about the many ways that Rotary has
given us a legacy that lasts.
I look forward to the great work we will do together in Rotary this
year, as we strive to Be a Gift to the World.
K.R. Ravindran

District Governor’s Letter
to the Rotarians of
District 5690
This is a great time to be a Rotarian, and I am humbled and
honored to have this opportunity to serve as your District
Governor. I look forward to getting to know all of you better
this year, and working together to make this the best District in
Rotary.
The clubs are the lifeblood of Rotary, and your dedication to
making your communities better by engaging in local
improvement projects can never be overstated. We applaud
those efforts and stand ready to assist in any way possible.
The District is here to serve the clubs, and I strongly believe in
teamwork, openness, and service. I encourage any of you to
contact myself or any District Committee member with any
questions or requests for assistance you or your club may
have. You will find we have a great leadership group ready
and willing to help in any way they can. We are truly a team
in this District, and no one is more valuable than you.
Recruiting and retaining members was a major concern I
heard most often at PETS during our get-acquainted period.
Our District has formed a Membership Cadre and we are
working to develop a membership visioning plan to ensure our
District thrives in the future, and you will all be an important
part of this exciting plan. I look forward to working with your
clubs in this critical area as the year progresses.
On the global stage, together with Rotarians throughout the
world, we are so very close to finally eradicating polio. It
could happen during our year, and what better legacy can we
leave for our future generations?
I look forward to a great year of working together in service to
our communities, and to making the world a better place
through our involvement. By serving others through Rotary,
you are all truly a Gift to the World.
