A Message from the District Governor
“We will capture this moment to Grow Rotary, making it stronger, more adaptable and even more aligned with our core values.”
 
This is what RI President Holger Knaack  said when he introduced “Rotary Open Opportunities” as this year’s theme. Research Professor Brene Brown describes value as a way of being or believing that we hold most important. Living into our values means that we do more than profess them, we practice them.
 
Our Rotary world is changing.  Our ability to adapt and survive as an organization depends upon the actions we take, each day to be relevant to our members and our communities.  We do this when we draw upon our core values. 
 
And we do it the Rotary way - we do it together!  When we connect and serve the needs of our community, we bring Rotary’s core values to life. When we invite others, who share our values to join us, we open opportunities to continue to improve the lives of those we serve.
 
As People of Action I ask you this year to build on your success achieved during 2019-2020. Grow Membership, Grow Giving to The Rotary Foundation allowing us to continue to Grow Service, strengthening and connecting our Youth Programs and then tell the Rotary story and Grow Public Image.  As we visit your clubs this year you will hear more about how the district leadership team stands ready to support your commitment to serve your communities and live into these core values:
 
Fellowship, Integrity, Diversity, Service, Leadership 
 
This is our call to action!

Rotary Youth Exchange
District 7430
Rotary Youth Exchange
Students Connect with Local Communities
 
For the Rotary year 2019-2020, District 7430 hosted 10 exchange students.  This was no ordinary exchange year with the Covid-19 effect dramatically changing the way their year would end.  Typically, the district committee plans monthly activities to bring the students together to build goodwill and better friendships.  These students bond and create lifetime friendships during these events.  Due to the stay at home orders, there were decisions to be made which impacted the end of the year including cancelling the scheduled activities.  Some students returned to their home countries at the start of the pandemic while others stayed with their host families in the USA.  Safety of the students was our first concern as decisions to stay or go where made.  Next was the question: What do you do with students when everything around them is closed?  Answer: Get them involved with the community, while social distancing!
