Dear Family of Rotary
This is my last monthly newsletter as District Governor. How time flies and what a year it has been! Nobody could have predicted how this year has gone, but I am proud of how Rotarians in this District 9211 have coped and adapted so ably to changes that have been forced upon us.
Next month, District Governors Elect John Magezi Ndamira (D9213) and Young Kimaro (D9214) will take over the reins, so in many ways it is appropriate that this is Fellowship Month. We have managed to keep fellowship, in its many meanings during the period of lockdown. Zoom meetings have abounded, newsletters have continued, and the love and concern shown to the more vulnerable amongst our number has been outstanding. As we move closer to being able to recommence physical meetings again, the fellowship will be close to our hearts as we re-connect in person with friends and Rotary colleagues. A word of caution though – whilst we all want to get back to physical meetings – we need to do this carefully and slowly. As we move towards the “New Normal”, I encourage each one of you to take a few minutes to look back and think through what we have learnt, both the good and bad, and embrace the positive learnings into our daily lives. If we just go back to the “Old Normal” these learnings will be lost.
