Many of you know that we Rotarians are part of a wide network of Rotarians spread across the globe. The next level up from the club level is the district level, which for our District 6650 encompasses 45 clubs in our area. Our current District Governor is Scott Schulick, representing the Youngstown club. Our incoming Governor is Dan Morgan, from the Jackson Township Rotary. We have had several members of our club who have served as District Governors, including Bob Pattison and Dave Ewing. It is the job of our club's leadership to nominate a qualified individual from Canton Rotary to be considered for the District Governor position.
Any such nominees should be leaders in their club, having served as President, been successful in their business or profession, and been leaders in their church or community. With these guidelines in mind, I am pleased to announce that the Rotary Club of Canton will submit our very own Michelle Mullaly to the district nominating committee as a candidate for District Governor Nominee for Rotary Year 2022-2023. As you know, Michelle has brought great energy and commitment to our club… and I am sure she will do the same at the district level.
It is required that a resolution of support for Michelle be approved by our club's members. Therefore, at the May 3. 2019 meeting, I made a motion that The Rotary Club of Canton submit the name of Michelle Mullaly to the Nominating Committee of District 6650, Rotary International, as candidate for District Governor Nominee Designate for the Rotary year 2022-2023. The motion was seconded by PP Virginia Neutzling. The nomination was put to a vote and overwhelmingly approved.
Congratulations, Michelle, and good luck! We’re proud to have you as a member and representative of our club!
New member Ron Haines has graciously donated a Rotary International metal sign that he designed and made himself. This awesome piece of art will be auctioned off at our meeting on Friday, May 31. It's a great way to show off your Rotary pride! All proceeds will go to the Canton Rotary Charitable Fund.
Leading up to this year's Annual Four Person Golf Scramble scheduled for June 28, 2019 at the Sanctuary Golf Course, we will be having a contest for the Rotarian who can sell the most "Hole Sponsorships".
