Brenda Tipton, our district governor, gave an invigorating presentation to get us all motivated for some Rotary growth. As a lead for AT&T’s corporate tech team, Brenda knows how to get things done. Our self acclaimed Chief Enthusiasm Encouragement Officer is interested in yoga, volunteering, and alligators. When Brenda first started rotary she was immediately recruited for the cemetery clean up community and fell in love with giving back. When Brenda climbed the ranks to president of her club she made it her goal to induct 15 new members for the year which she exceeded by 7! As district governor, Brenda continues to work hard to grow and connect rotary. Her pet project as of late has been to connect club runner to Rotary International which is now 97% complete. Brenda sends out regular 1 page bulletins to keep everyone apprised of the upcoming events and trends in Rotary. She also helped to start a district charitable organization. Brenda has accomplished so much by putting what she loves first and we thank her for loving Rotary.

 

 

Yes, this is a challenging time.  But, we are Rotarians, we will rise to the challenge, and our resilience and power of adaptation will prevail over this.  Thanks everyone, have a great week.
