District Governor Newsletter April 2021
 
 
April has arrived! It’s not only the final quarter of my term of service as your District Governor, but also the month in which our District will host the all-Africa Centennial District Conference. Ground-breaking initiatives take courage. Thank you for the dedication and support of the many members working behind the scenes to support our conference objectives.
 
The centennial year will be a memorable one. It will unite Rotarians in Africa, celebrate, and honour the accomplishments of the last 100 years. The past successes laid a solid foundation for the next centenary, moving Rotary in Africa forward and upward in the next 100 years. We are all fortunate to be here on this centennial year. None of us is likely to be around for the Bicentennial celebration, and so let’s all heartily celebrate the Centennial available to us!
 
I know all our members in the district will buy a $20 single entry ticket and join us for the two-day conference. Those who will be getting together in one place, remember each of you in the group should have your own ticket. We made the price affordable for each to participate – perhaps you can pay this forward and invite a non-Rotarian friend or share with your Rotaract member of Interact parent - this is in line with the spirit of Rotary. I thank those clubs and company’s showcasing their partnerships, community service work, history and stories at the House of Friendship.
 
It’s a historic moment, we will leave a legacy and you are part of it!
