It’s hard to believe that the Rotary year is more than half over! Kudos to the clubs that have started or enlarged pollinator plots in their communities. I’m very gratified with the response we have had to this initiative. Toward the end of the year, in May and June, I will be asking clubs to send me the approximate square footage of their plots so that we can tabulate a District 6420 total

It is with great pleasure that we declare Dr. Kris Tumilowicz of the Loves Park Club the District Governor for the 2027-28 Rotary year! Congratulations, Dr. T (as he is known). Kris has been a Rotarian for over 40 years, active in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program and the Club Foundation Chair for many years.
