In this episode we welcome our guest District Governor of Rotary District 5180, Ray Ward. Ray discusses his vision for the Rotary year 2019-2020, ways to help clubs improve membership, events that are happening, his family and more.

In this episode, I interview 5 passionate Rotarians from my Rotary Club – The Rotary Club of Citrus Heights. With a combined 207 years of service and over 27 Paul Harris Fellows, these Rotarians are what the core of any club looks like. There are many clubs out there with those core members who provide mentorship, fellowship, inspiration and compassion. They must be cherished and celebrated, so in this inaugural episode, I hope I truly honor them because they are the members whom have helped me find my Rotary moments and continue to encourage me to strive to be a great Rotarian in our District (District 5180) and the World.

Please enjoy our trailer. We are about to embark on a new journey, and we hope that you enjoy the future possibilities.
