Welcome to Rotary District 5160

Our Rotary and Rotaract members are proud to welcome you to our global community of more than 1.4 million people dedicated to building a better world. We are a community of leaders from all continents, cultures and occupations. Through the Rotary community, you can exchange ideas, take action and build lifelong friendships with people who share your passion for service. Together, we can eradicate polio, train more skilled peacemakers, protect the environment and provide lasting solutions for communities fighting disease, hunger, illiteracy, and poverty.

Rotary can be as big or small as you want it to be. Whether you are looking to volunteer in your local community or explore the opportunities to engage Rotary outside your club and community, the possibilities are endless. Take advantage of the resources and activities available through your club, district, and Rotary International to make your experience with Rotary both rewarding and fun.

Whatever your reason for joining Rotary, we are glad you did and we look forward to meeting you along the way. If you are looking for support or have questions, please feel free to connect with us.

District Governor’s Message

Greetings 5160!

 

I made my last “official” DG Club visit on February 23rd. In keeping with District 5160 tradition, my last visit was to my home club, Lamorinda Sunrise. I have had the privilege to visit with all 71 clubs across the district since I began my DG travels in August. I have to admit that I am a bit wistful that this part of my DG year is complete.

Visiting the Clubs is the best part of being District Governor!! I asked each of you to brag on the wonderful projects that you and your Clubs are working on. I learned more about the initiatives, partnerships and teams that you have built and the difference that you are making in your communities and beyond!

I look forward to attending many club events across the district in the next few months. Many of you will be hosting great projects and fundraisers and celebrating significant Club anniversaries so please send information about your events to me so I can join you!

I also look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming Spring Assemblies and, of course, at the Field of Rotary Dreams District Conference in Sacramento April 26-28th!! It isn’t too late to register. Don’t miss out on a chance to connect with other team members across the district, to share ideas and learn about projects and fund raisers, to hear from inspirational speakers and to HAVE FUN!! If you need your personalized registration link resent, please let me know.

Thank you for all that you do and will continue to do to make our world a better place!

I look forward to seeing you soon…GO TEAM 5160!!

2023-24 RI President Gordon McInally asks us to come together to reduce the stigma of mental health issues and access to care. If I sprained my ankle, I wouldn’t think twice about asking you to take me to the emergency room but many who experience mental health challenges suffer in silence for fear of being judged or rejected.Our clubs have created a safe space that allows us to be our authentic selves while together we celebrate our successes and support one another in tough times. We need to be comfortable asking each other the question “How are you?” followed by “How are you REALLY?”.  And, even more importantly, we need to create a space so all are comfortable sharing a truthful answer.

Thank you for your commitment, your energy, and your service. I am incredibly lucky to have the privilege of serving with an amazing team of leaders, Rotarians and Rotaractors this year.

GO TEAM 5160!!
