MESSAGE FROM ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT’S PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE

Larry A. Lunsford

Dear Fellow Rotarians and Friends,
Though my wife Jill is not able to join us, she sends her very best regards to each of you.

I know each of you are looking forward to celebrating the successes of this Rotary year at this District Conference,
and I am pleased that you have chosen to attend. Governor Dr. Norman Lee, and Isa, have led your District this
year to even greater heights as you display Service Above Self to your communities, your country, and the world.
Your Rotary Clubs and Rotaract Clubs are active and vibrant.

As a Trustee of the Rotary Foundation, thank you for the support you provide to our mission. I applaud you
for your engagement in Global and District Grants, and your energy toward our Polio Eradication efforts. I
congratulate you for your special projects which include Ger For Life, and Science Experiment Laboratories in
Mongolian Schools.

This District Conference weekend will be a highlight of the year. It will be wonderful to see how each of you have
embraced this year’s theme – IMAGINE ROTARY – to enhance your Rotary experience and your Rotary impact.

As we seek a more healthy, peaceful, and inclusive world, thank you for being Rotarians. Let’s enjoy the
weekend together, and let’s leave inspired to keep up the great work of Rotary.

Congratulations on a great year of service!

Yours in Rotary,
Larry A. Lunsford
