Welcome to a New Rotary Year
Greetings! 
The successful operations of our local Rotary Clubs is truly, as they say, "where the rubber meets the road." As of July 1 our new Rotary year has been set in motion. The year will move quickly and so it is vital that at the end of each month of operations we pause and take inventory on what has been accomplished and what it is we still need to complete - the monthly production of the "Spectrum," the District 6710 monthly newsletter, will be designed to help you do just that.
It will contain timely reminders, important announcements and other relevant Rotary information that will help our clubs and district personnel to stay current and hopefully ahead of the curve in accomplishing our mutual Rotary goals. To this end, it is critical to recognize that, in many cases, only the Club President and Club Secretary receive this document (although our distribution list is growing each year). Its' value is increased as it reaches more readers, so I hope that you will share this with others in your club.
I look forward to our 2009-10 Rotary year and the many exciting "service above self" opportunities we will have in making our world a better place in which we live for truly "The Future of Rotary Is In Our Hands."
Chuck Cicchella
District Governor
