District Governor Harvey Hanson joined us for the club’s August 4th luncheon where he brought us greetings from Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith whom he met in California this spring at the meeting of all of Rotary’s District Governors |

“Building Communities and Bridging Continents”, the theme for 2010 - 2011 year is something that DG Hanson thinks we have been doing for a long time. However, he urged us to think Bigger, Better, & Bolder.
Hanson had been given a tour of Dryden by PDG Clare and seen the good work of Rotary and commended us on our efforts. He reminded us,“If you can dream it, you can do it” and urged us to keep thinking of new and innovative projects that will benefit the community locally and worldwide.
However, while he encouraged us try new things, he also said to try recycling old ideas.
DG Hanson outlined the District Goals for this year:
1 - Grow and sustain membership
2 - Raise money for “Polio Plus” in the community
3 - Support for Dolly Parton Imagination Library
4 - Support the World Peace Initiative
Hanson alsoencouraged all members to remember fellowship as a prime means of attracting and retaining members.
Finally heinvited us all to the District Conference in Dauphin MB June 9 - 11, 2011.
District Governor Hanson was accompanied to our meeting by his wife Rtn Lorraine Hanson, and Assistant DG Knowles McGill of Sioux Lookout.
