On Saturday, April 6th, District 5730 PDG Advisory Council had a meeting in Plainview Texas which was conducted by our District Governor Elect, Steve Long. Both Steve and our sitting DG Dan Linebarger gave us l an update on the district and plans for the future. Nice meeting, saw friends and had a wonderful lunch at the President’s House in Plainview, Tx. Several spouses attended also. Pictured are PDG Michael Graves, DGN Bonnie Pendleton, PDG Susan Brints, DGE Steve Long, PDG Ken Patterson, DG Dan Linebarger, PDG Roger Sepulveda and PDG Cesar Caro. PDG Charles Starnes also attended, but had to leave a bit early (before we had an opportunity to take this pic).

LOVE TO TRAVEL?? ENJOY ROTARY FRIENDSHIPS?? Then consider a Rotary Friendship Exchange!!
Rotary Friendship Exchange (RFE) is an international program for Rotarians, including spouses and partners, which provides a unique opportunity to forge lasting international friendships and experience another culture first hand in the homes of Rotarians in another country! The goal of the exchange is to advance international understanding and peace through visits to Rotary districts around the world. Exchanges are reciprocal and usually last 2 weeks.
Our district 10 member Rotary Friendship Exchange team has just returned from a wonderful 3 week trip to Thailand. We were able to experience the beautiful Thai culture hosted by Rotarians from Bangkok, Phitsanulok, Nan, and the northern mountains of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, visiting elegant temples, riding elephants, rafting down a river, projects with the youth, tea plantation, history museums and so much more. Not only did our team visit project sites and present programs to 11 Rotary Clubs but also visited with Clubs and hospital personnel about serving as the international partner for 4 future humanitarian grants. So many lovely memories made while forming lasting friendships and sharing Rotary ideas for “doing good in the world”.
The Thailand RFE team will be visiting in our District from September 9 – 24, 2019. We plan a huge Texas welcome!!
Our next D5730 RFE team will be during the 2019-20 year!! Dates to be announced!
D5730 Global Grant Water Filter project in Mexico
(Photos are from the community of Tebelchia, Mexico)
Recipients of the water filters have available water in their communities but the water is not potable. Community health personnel determine the recipients in the program based on family need, income, etc. During water filter distributions by Rotarians, health personnel instruct the adults and their children on good hygiene practices, how to maintain the filters, and distribute tooth paste, toothbrushes and soap.
Recipients provide a 5-6 gallon clean plastic bucket, and Rotarians drill a ½” hole towards the bottom of the bucket. One end of a 14” long hose is secured to the ½” hole and the other end is attached to the 6” filter with a hook that is slipped over the bucket rim to keep the filter above the bucket’s water level. Contaminated water is poured in the bucket, the filter hose is unhooked from the top of the rim and lowered into a clean receptacle. Clean drinking water is the result!
Last year Rotarians distributed just under 1000 water filters in small communities within a four hour drive around Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This year we have distributed about 450 so far. Rotarians have about 800 more to go and the plan is to complete the Global Grant this year, 2019. When completed we will have distributed about 2200 water filters providing about 8800 people with inexpensive clean drinking water. The filters will last 10 years or more as long as they are properly maintained. An additional Global Grant is be written to continue these distributions.

A few words from Dan and Kim:
Let us begin by saying Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Mele Kalikimaka, Feliz Navidad and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The past 5 months have been a real whirlwind of Club visits, inducting officers, new members and seeing parts of Texas for the first time. As we near the Holidays, we pray for everyone's safety that must travel and pray for comfort for those experiencing this Season while missing a loved one.
During the Holidays, please watch the Rose Bowl Parade on New Year's Day. Our own Rotarian and Assistant Governor Les Gattis from Plainview will be riding on the Rotary Float!!!!!! Les had already planned to take his family to the parade and then by chance saw where the Rotary Float committee was selling 120 tickets with the single winner getting a seat on the float. Les bought is $100 ticket and "BINGO", just a few days ago he learned that he was the lucky winner!!! So. please watch the parade and give Les a big wave as he represents District 5730 on the Rotary Float.

In an effort to increase membership and highlight Rotary’s inspiring work, RI President Barry Rassin is urging clubs and districts to organize fun, informal community events called Rotary Days.
"Rotary Days events will offer you the chance to have an impact in your community, build long-term partnerships, increase interest in membership, and improve Rotary’s image," Rassin said.
Any club, big or small, can host a Rotary Day. Neighboring clubs can pool their resources and co-host an event, and entire districts can come together for a large-scale Rotary Day.
One of the things I appreciate most about serving as president of Rotary International is the people I get to meet. Much of my time is spent traveling and visiting Rotary clubs around the world. A Rotarian welcome is something quite special. But let me tell you, there's nothing so warm as the welcomes that have been rolled out for me by Rotaractors. These are young people who are committed to Rotary ideals, who are pouring their hearts into service, and who, in the process, don't forget to have fun.
RI President-elect Barry Rassin’s theme for 2018-19, Be the Inspiration, asks Rotarians to inspire change in the world and in each other. “I ask all of you to Be the Inspiration to help Rotary move from reaction to action — to take a hard look at the environmental issues that affect health and welfare around the world and do what we can to help.”

Rotary Showcase is an online application that allows Rotarians and Rotaractors to share stories of their clubs’ successful projects with people around the world. In addition, project stories are a source for features in Rotary International blogs and newsletters.
The Showcase’s Impact Tracker shows the impact of each Rotary project in terms of volunteers and volunteer hours, cash contributions, and in-kind donations. It also shows the collective impact of all reported projects.
Success stories posted on Showcase can serve as an inspiration and a model for other Rotary and Rotaractor clubs. Check out this "Impact Tracker" by clicking here.Posted on Apr 08, 2018

"Rotary has a long way to go. One who thinks of the movement as a finished product is indeed short sighted; there is nothing in the past to justify such a view; those who have been long identified with it think of it as having made a beginning only; the grandeur of Rotary must be in the days to come".
