February 2025 - - - shortest month of the year and also the FASTEST for District 5830. Did everyone remember to BUY that valentine? A card? Candy? The full deal with Card, Candy, and Flowers? ? As Rotarians we are so, so blessed and with the “service above self” focus, Valentine’s Day was a great way to prove our “worth” to family, friends, and other Rotarians!
Your District Team has just returned from LoneStar PETS. It was incredible! PDG Carolyn Franks did a superb job of emceeing the Saturday Dinner and will be Operating Chair in 2026. DGE Damon Donnell did an excellent job of leading us and introducing 2025-2026 initiatives and goals and DG Jeff Johnston, DGN Diane Kavanaugh, PDG Mike Groom, Trudy Williams, Landon Forbes, Pamela Walters, and I enjoyed working with our Presidents Elect and introducing and facilitating the learning modules. DA Shirley Pinnix-Evans kept us on track. 
The District 5830 Legacy Campaign- "What's your Rotary Legacy?", is full steam ahead! There have been multiple club presentations and conversations regarding how you can leave a lasting legacy that will help make a difference. Rotarians all across 5830 are stepping forward and determining how they can make, either an outright gift or a bequest that will change lives of the most needy. I encourage every Rotarian, young and not so young, to ask yourself the question above and decide what your answer will be.
