The Latest from District Governor, Brent Hastey

Spring has Sprung!

And just like that, it's spring! You can certainly tell change is in the air - both the weather, and the vibe, the pace of things seems to be picking up and more things are opening up.
 
I certainly hope that you're all experiencing the positive changes as more people get vaccinated and the case count continues to remain low. It's been a rough year+, but clubs are beginning to meet in person again, projects and fundraisers are being planned, and it seems like a sense of normalcy is beginning to return - or is at least in our sight.
 
The Festival of Learning is underway. I sure hope you're all signing up for the many offerings throughout the month. Please register today for the virtual conference May 22-23rd. It's just a couple of hours each day, but we're packing a lot of fun, great speakers and activities into those few hours! (and did we mention the goody bag?!) In preparation for the conference, the Pinewood Derby car races will be held at 10:00 a.m. on May 1st at Fairytale Town in Sacramento to see which club wins the trophy! I can't wait to see how creative you've been with your cars. 
 
Looking forward to engaging with many of you in all the great things we have in store in the next few months. 
 
Happy Spring!
 
-DG Brent

Festival of Learning is on!

YOUR ROTARY DISTRICT 5180
FESTIVAL OF LEARNING
APRIL 6 THROUGH MAY 1
 
The customary District Assembly to train new club officers and committee chairs was canceled because of the pandemic. But instead, we’re offering you, for the entire month of April, a Festival of Learning that can all be done safely online!
 
Our District 5180 Festival of Learning is 28 workshops. It’s newly created by more than 50 of your friends from more the 20 clubs throughout the district on almost every topic of concern to Rotarians like you and me! All this at no cost to you. The only thing you have to give is your time.
 
The district website Festival of Learning page shows you all of the opportunities offered. When you click on the box with the workshop of interest, you’ll be swooped away to the registration page for that workshop. You can register for all that interests you. Just submit the registration, which takes about 30 seconds, and you’ll receive an email confirmation instantly.
 
Take a look by going to the Festival of Learning page on the website today! Your Rotary world will thank you for it!!

Let Your Club's Star Shine Bright!

Submissions must be three minutes or less in length and posted to a club website or Facebook page by April 30th. Email a link to where your commercial can be viewed to DeDe Cordell to let the committee know it's posted. Our rock star panel of judges will be selecting a winner, to be announced at the virtual conference May 22nd!
