 Holiday Joys and Stress
I’m grateful that I stopped in time. I’m grateful that I forgave before it was too late. I’m grateful for all the close calls that I survived so I could still be here with my wife, my son, my friends, and my colleagues and guides, without whom I’d be lost. I’m grateful that I still have so much to learn. This is a statement of gratitude that I reshaped to incorporate my own sentiments for Thanksgiving. The tremendous experiences you gain as you make your path in the world comes with many lessons learned through failure and success. | ||

Innovation is a powerful force, and it can shape the future of Rotary in our district. The discussions and insights shared at the Institute were not only enlightening but also incredibly relevant to us and our fellow District leaders who attended. | ||

These are batteries that come in cell phones, laptops, tablets, power drills, e-bikes, electric vehicles and anything that is rechargeable. Lithium-ion batteries are a phenomenal technology that can propel us into a clean energy and transportation future. All lithium-ion batteries are made up of varying amounts of critical minerals like cobalt, nickel, copper and lithium. What is incredible is these minerals can be recycled almost infinitely. | ||

 RYLA Northwest
The RYLA Northwest was a program was founded in 1969 by Rotarians in the Lakewood Rotary Club (District 5020), but was a District 5030 program at the start of the pandemic. You may ask, how could that be? Districts 5020, 5030, and 5040 were all part of District 502 before a realignment of districts in 1973. The program continued to be administered through District 5030, serving clubs and students in Districts 5020 and 5030 (District 5040 formed a new program). | ||

The ERL Program consisted of a full day of intensive leadership training and networking facilitated by past district governors from Zones 26 and 27, Glenn Fong, Shurie Scheel, Del Green, and Gianna Richards.
