DG Damon Donnell October 2025 Newsletter
October is a month full of meaning for Rotary. It is officially recognized as Economic and Community Development Month, a time when we reflect on how our projects help grow stronger local economies and create opportunities for families and communities.
 
But October also gives us a special global moment: World Polio Day on October 24. District 5830 joins Rotarians everywhere in reaffirming our promise to the world: to End Polio Now.
 
Thanks to your steadfast support, we are closer than ever to eradicating this disease, but the work is not done. This is our chance to highlight Rotary’s impact and raise awareness and funds to finish the fight.

I am Tammy Haas from the South Tyler Rotary Club and very honored to represent our district in this capacity. This is a new role for our district to have.  My passion is Peacebuilding and for those I have met across our district I appreciate your enthusiasm for this role I have taken on. A special thanks to our DG Damon for supporting me in this.    Peace is truly possible and especially when you realize it's a part of every area of focus within Rotary. I have done presentations at several of our Rotary Clubs about the Peace Pole Project and my vision of this role.  If you would like me to do a presentation please reach out to me.
