Week 48, May 29-June 4, 2011

June is going down in the books as one of the busiest months of this Rotary year for me as your Governor. There are just so many end-of-the-year reports and lots of club installation events. I love visiting your clubs. I hate end-of-the-year reports!
This week I would like to focus on a couple of Rotary District 7750's unsung heroes. The first is our District Treasurer, Bobby Elrod. Bobby works tirelessly for this district. If you need a check, you receive it in a couple of days. If you need a balance in an account or a history of what has been spent in the past, you will get it by the next day. There is never any rest for Bobby because as soon as the new Rotary year begins, there are still receipts and invoices to be processed from the previous year plus the beginnings of the new year. Thank you, Bobby. We could not do it without you! Another person deserving of my gratitude is Sara Mansbach. She has worked tirelessly to make our Haiti Literacy Project a reality in July 2011. In spite of serious family health issues, she has managed to "stay the course." We all owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you, Sara. Is there anyone in the Rotary world who has not heard of Al Steele? I think not! Al is our water guru but Al is so much more. I have never known anyone to have more passion for something meaningful than Al. Thanks to Al, many hundreds or even thousands of folks, have clean drinking water. Thank you , Al. More unsung heroes next week. Stay tuned.
