We have talked a lot this year about partnerships and collaboration — working together with other Rotary and Rotaract clubs and members, community organizations, local governments and individuals to create more impactful projects.

Collaboration brings other ideas, perspectives, skills and resources to our work to allow us to develop better solutions.

I have been excited and proud to see all of the great projects and initiatives that have arisen from these partnerships including the WASH project with District 5130; the Solano Clubs coming together to support the Wings over Solano Airshow by serving food to sponsors’ and supporters and clubs adopting the Good Characters Awards program. We have provided dictionaries to elementary school students; built playgrounds; delivered food to seniors; cleaned up our communities; and provided Tutudesks for students in Africa.

I had a great time working with fellow Rotarians at Wings over Solano, and I hope that you will invite me to your upcoming service project or fundraiser so I can work with your Club to make our world a better place!

I look to seeing you at the Field of Rotary Dreams District Conference! Plans are being finalized and our team won’t be complete without you.
