As my term as your District Membership Chair is nearing an end, it seems bittersweet. On the sweet side of things, it has been an honor and privilege to serve District 5450 and all the clubs that make up our phenomenal and game-changing district. It has been a delight to work closely with our DGs over these past 6 ½ years (7 DGs) and the Executive Committee. It has been especially sweet in having worked with so many Rotarians on my DMT who understood the importance of MEMBERSHIP.
My husband, Phil, acknowledges all of the time and hard work that I invested over the years in my role as your District Membership Chair (DMC); however, he’s ready to “have me back” and I’m ready for a bit of a breather. He is appreciative that due to my DMC task of RI lead follow-up a door was opened and re-connected him with his now current employer. Rotary changes lives!
So grateful that Lynn Perez-Hewitt of the Littleton Rotary Club agreed to take on this daunting yet rewarding position. We have been transitioning her into the DMC role since last August which has enabled us to have a stress-free handoff of the baton.
Lastly, as some of you know, I am passionate about anything Italian. So, in closing, GRAZIE to all of you for your support and inspiration. Arrivederci – until we see each other again.
Lynn Perez-Hewitt, D5450 Membership Chair 2018-19 and Rotary Club of Littleton, membership@rotary5450.org
As Debi hands the baton to me I look forward to meeting many, if not all, of you in the coming year when I visit your clubs. While I’ve been a Rotarian for nearly a decade, I’ve only been in the District for 18 months, so I look forward to learning more from all of you. Please look for monthly updates about membership tools and trends. The coming year offers opportunities and new friendships. It just doesn’t get much better.
BE THE INSPIRATION to grow your membership and enhance the experience for all members.
