Ambassadorial Scholar 2012-2013

At the Zone Institute, in our hospitality room, the DGN from District 7020 in the Caribbean and I agreed that my district would sponsor a scholar from their district to come and study here. We had tried a couple years ago and had a candidate from Haiti, but that was the year of all the hurricanes and communication was so bad we never received a completed application. I am glad we have a chance to try it again. The candidate may not be from Haiti as there are several counties in District 7020, but the DGN was quite sure they could put it together.

Speaking of Ambassadorial Scholars, my committee vice chair has completed her planning and we have a new committee in place. She has to confirm with a couple Rotarians yet, but on paper it is complete. We expanded the committee from 7 to 9 voting members, three from the north, three from the central and three from the south section of our district. In each area there will be a 3 year position, a two year position and a one year position to assure total continuity. I am very pleased with this change. It may be "the lasting mark" I leave after seven years of service.
