Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you as your District Governor for 2008-2009.  This is an exciting time as we begin a new year in Rotary.

As you know, International President D. K. Lee has chosen the theme of MAKE DREAMS REAL. With out District team of over 70 volunteers, along with our 78 clubs, I know that we will MAKE DREAMS REAL for many deserving people, not only in our district, but throughout the world.

District 7770 has a rich history and we want to build on that legacy this year.  We are being challenged to concentrate on increasing our membership, chartering new clubs, supporting the push to raise funds for Polio Plus, and rise to new heights in Foundation giving.  Our major service projects need to relate to child mortality, health and hunger, clean water, and literacy.  I know that all of you are up to the challenge as we make every effort to MAKE DREAMS REAL and live a life of SERVICE ABOVE SELF.
