Rotary District 5970 Governor Ward Budweg shared the following words of wisdom:

• If you take a trip, make sure the credit card expires AFTER your trip ends!
• “Your comfort zone is a beautiful place where nothing new grows.”
• Promote Rotary and your club by posting on Facebook, liking the posts, and sharing the posts.
• We all get the Rotary Magazine as a club member. Consider leaving the magazine at a health care provider’s office, the barber shop, etc. This will promote Rotary and all it is doing around the world.
• The Rotary Foundation is a fantastic place to invest in the world.
  • It supports 140+ labs around the world involved in Polio prevention and eradication…and also provide infrastructure for other viruses
  • It funds water wells, schools, and so much more around the world
• The District Conference will take place May 1-2 in Iowa Falls. All are invited; please come! Some of the various presentations will be on the NE Iowa Food Bank, AI, and Ethics. At Albright’s Bluff, there will be a Kentucky Derby contest where you can place bets and make hats.
• This year’s theme is “Unite for Good.” There are many opportunities to serve, please do!
