As you know Rotary International President Gordon McAnally has inspired us to think about Creating Hope in the World, and we can do so by ensuring we are practicing caring for ourselves and others this Rotary year.  Each month we will take a moment to share a mental health moment to inspire you on how you can practice caring for yourself and others.  In addition, District 5150 has taken a pledge to focus on mental health and has a group of committed Rotarians working towards making a difference in the arena of mental health here in our own district.  If you are interested in being a part of the discussion and solution our next district wide meeting will be January 8, at 6pm. Thereafter we hold our District wide meeting on the first Monday of every other month. If you need additional information, please contact Jenny Bates.

 

We hope you will also consider our newly created Rotary Men’s Support Group.  The focus of the discussion is helping men improve their communication with family and friends.  The next meeting is December 12 at 6:00pm at 220 N San Pedro Rd in San Rafael at the Church of Latter Day Saints.  The group is facilitated by Dr. Mikol Davis, a clinical psychologist.  For more information contact Jeff Slavitz (415) 310-2410.

Happy October, Rotary family:

 

It’s hard to believe that one-fourth of this Rotary year has already flown by. And yet, as I look over the last three months, I’m so heartened by how much our clubs have accomplished already.  Paramount among those examples is the recent collaboration for the California Coastal Clean-Up Day. 20 Rotary Clubs and 3 Interact Clubs participated and helped remove garbage to help protect our beautiful coastlines and local neighborhoods. Thank you to all of the volunteers who participated.

Every few years, District 5150 sends members of the Governor Line to Rotary International Headquarters to meet with key staff and leaders to be briefed on the latest information and bring back new knowledge and resources to help our clubs.  The last trip occurred in 2018, and so our team was overdue for a visit.

 

Visiting Rotary International Headquarters is not a privilege reserved for Rotary leadership: any member --Rotarian, Rotaractor, or Interactor-- is welcome to visit and experience this side of Rotary.  In fact, we (your district leadership team) encourage it!
