Well, it looks like this is my Swan Song! All I can say is that it has been a heckuva a ride! This past year will be one of the fondest memories I will ever have. I have seen people I haven't seen in a long time and met some very fine Rotarians whom I didn't know but can now call my friends. We have a great District with some amazing people who helped me out at every corner....for which I am eternally grateful. It is with a heavy heart that I say good bye; but you will see me again in the coming years as I don't intend to disappear! Yours in Rotary Service, Judy

Marshall Rotary Club sponsors Carthage Rotary Club. Even more relevant than that is the fact that Judy Guthrie is the 2018-2019 District Governor of District 5830. Judy was the first female member of the Rotary Club of Carthage, having joined in February of 2004! Written by: PDG Jim Fitzgerald
The flash back into the past requires that the stage be set. World War II had ended May 8, 1945, but the war in Japan was still raging.
A little over a month later, in the Sunday, June 17, 1945 edition of the Marshall News Messenger, Marshall club president, Gordon Boone, announced that several members of the Marshall and Center Texas Rotary clubs had met for the first meeting of the new Rotary club in Carthage, Texas, Friday June 15.
The special Representative responsible for forming the new club was PDG Roy E. Smith of Tyler. The club was officially chartered June 18, 1945, as the newest club in District 128 (now D-5830).
The Charter Banquet was held September 27, at the high school gymnasium in Carthage. Five members of the Marshall Rotary Club were in attendance. They were Lon Green, Martin Hirsch, the Rev. William H. Everton, Dr. S. E. Smith, and Warren Keys.
Presentation of the charter was made by the Center Rotary club and a plaque inscribed with the four objects of Rotary was made by the Marshall club.
The club was founded by as a cooperative effort of the Marshall and Center Rotary clubs of District 128, by District Governor R. E. Jackson, professor of Texas State College in Denton, but was the result of the efforts and support of far more clubs and Rotarians, in other cities far and wide.
It was also one of the few clubs charted during the World War II, which is in itself significant, because during the war, thousands of active Rotary clubs were disbanded as they were overrun by the Germans, some of which ultimately fell under Soviet control in May of 1945, because they no longer met the constitutional requirements of the Rotary organization as Non-Governmental-[controlled] Organizations (NGOs).
This caused a large number of clubs to be lost at the very time that the humanitarian services of Rotary clubs were so desperately needed.
But even more relevant than that is the fact that Judy Guthrie is the district governor of District 5830 this year, and she was the first female member of the Rotary Club of Carthage, having joined in February of 2004!
Judy earned her way to the top, serving as club president, secretary, and treasurer, as well as chairing the Dictionary Project, and the RYLA, Foundation, and Scholarship committees.
At the district level she chaired the 4-Way Speech Contest 5 times, is a member of the Paul Harris Committee, was the District Foundation CPG chair, and Assistant Governor for 3 years.
With the founding of Carthage Rotary club and induction of District Governor Judy Guthrie, it can be proudly said that the Marshall Rotary club, and its members in 1945, had a part in starting the Rotary Club of Carthage, and that will be long remembered, when we honor them, August 24, 2019, at the Marshall Convention Center in Marshall, Texas.
Well....those of you who didn't go on the Multi District Conference Cruise missed a really good time!! We had really good speakers, played games to win prizes, helped the District in Cozumel paint a school, had beautiful weather and wonderful food. All in all, everyone had fun! WE WERE ON A CRUISE Y'ALL and didn't spend all day in a meeting room. We had speakers on Friday and Sunday mornings plus a memorial service for Rotarians in our four Districts who had passed away this past year. We had games in the afternoons if you wanted to play.....hula hoop, shuffleboard, and bean bag throw (also known as corn hole). I'm proud to say that a Rotarian from 5830, Mary Moss and her husband Bill won the bean bag throw!! I hope the DGs following us will do something for their District Conferences that is as much fun as this one was and can manage to get as many good speakers as we had. Please see pictures of the fun on the District Website Photo Album.

PDG John Jetter attended the triennial Rotary Council on Legislation as RI District 5830’s representative. The Council met at the Hyatt Regency Chicago April 14 to 18, 2019. The Council (one representative for each of 530 plus districts) considered 117 enactments of which 42 were adopted.
The 2019 Council on Legislation was not near as progressive as the 2016 Council. However, it did take some interesting actions.
The Councils actions will effect changes to The Rotary International constitution and bylaws and the Rotary club constitution and suggested bylaws. These changes will be effective July 1, 2019. Clubs should be aware that they will be required to adopt the new club constitution and review their bylaws to ensure conformity with the new constitutions and bylaws by July 1, 2019. When they become available, please download them from the Rotary International website.
Please click on “Read More” below to see John’s summary of the significant actions taken.
John wishes to thank the Rotarians of District 5830 for the opportunity to serve them as the district’s representative to the 2019 Councils on Legislation. Attending such Rotary events is always an eye opening and thought provoking Rotary experience!
Please feel free to call John with your comments or questions.

The District's ability to provide such a scholarship is directly attributed to the gifts made by members 3 years previously. It is truly a contribution to providing Rotary Service through peace, medicine, child health, education, economic development, or water/sanitation."

This year they read about cats who can walk through walls and horses that can soar over stiles. There have been fun moments of suspense as we read each week.
