District 6630 Governor Official Visit Slated for Akron Club January 3, 2023

DAVID JONES

District 6630 District Governor 2022-2023 

Once a year, the District Governor makes an official visit to each club in the district.
 
The District 6630 Governor, David Jones, will make his official visit to the RC of Akron on Tuesday, January 3, 2022.
 
The purpose of the visit: To allow the District Governor to communicate directly with all Rotarians in our District. To listen to the Club Leadership and its members and gain a better understanding of their club.  To share information from RI and the District as it pertains to the Clubs.
 
The Governor's visit is a very special occasion and an opportunity for members, family of Rotarians and potential members to learn more about Rotary.

He is excited to work with all of the Clubs and Rotarians of the District on club membership, Community Service, Foundation Support and strengthening the connections between Rotary, Interact and Rotaract clubs. David stated, “I am excited to be a part of an extremely talented leadership team and will continue the proud tradition of those who put “Service Above Self.”
It's Chili Open Time - Can you help?
On February 4, 2023 over 500 golfers, Rotarians and volunteers will come together for Rotary Club of Akron’s 33rd annual Chili Open to golf, win prizes, and celebrate the great work that Rotary is doing in our local community. So far we have raised almost $100,000, but still has a long way to go to reach our bold goal of $350,000.
 
Because of the Chili Open, no child is ever turned away from Akron Rotary Camp due to inability to pay. Since its inception, the event has raised over $4,500,000 to support families and children in attending Camp.
 
If you are considering a sponsorship, or know of someone that might be interested in helping a great cause, please reach out to our Chili Open co-chairs.
 
We would also appreciate any donation of an item that can be used in our silent auction and/or door prize raffle to help us to meet our goal. Items can include gift cards, baskets, getaways, experiences, and more!
 
As always, thank you for helping to “Create a world where there are only abilities!”
