Program -
Christie introduced our District Governor, Kathy Kwiat-Hess from Rockford to a standing ovation. Kathy's background is a retired clinical social worker and one of her proudest and most impactful moments in her life was going to New York after 9/11 providing mental health services.
Kathy spoke to us about our responsibility to engage in Rotary and encourage membership. She shared this year's theme which is "Be the Inspiration" . She explained the logo to us, indicating the blue swirls represent waves which are forces of nature with a heart inside indicating the heart of rotary and a sail on the outside, all of these symbols represent that "Rotarians Move with Heart and Direction". Thank you Kathy for an inspiring message.
