Happy New Year, Rotary 5830! From DG Damon Donnell 
As we step into January 2026, we begin the year focusing on Vocational Service Month, celebrating how our skills and careers bring meaningful impact to communities through service. 
 
It’s been a great start to the Rotary year — I’ve had the privilege of visiting several of our clubs recently. From Idabel & Antlers, OK, to Pittsburg, Paris, and Clarksville, TX, the passion and commitment of Rotarians across our district have truly inspired me. These visits reflect the heart of Rotary — diverse clubs united in service, fellowship, and action.
