THE 5970 DISTRICT GOVERNOR WAS OUR SPECIAL GUEST DAY. SHE IS KATHY FAHY OF SPIRIT LAKE. KATHY IS FROM THE SMALL NORTHWEST TOWN, BANCROFT AND WHILE IN COLLEGE, BECAME INVOLVED WITH ROTARY (17 YEARS AGO) WHEN SHE WAS SELECTED BY ROTARY TO
SPEND A YEAR IN AUSTRALIA. WHY THE LANTERN? THE ROTARY THEME THIS YEAR IS "LIGHT UP ROTARY" AND SHE PASSED A LANGERN AROUND FOR EACH MEMBER TO AUTOGRAPH. AND SHE STRESSED THE IDEA OF
SIGNING UP A NEW MEMBER TO HELP LIGHT UP ROTARY. SHE WAS A HIT WITH MAQUOKETA MEMBERS TODAY AND THE CLUB (NANCY'S IDEA) GAVE HER A ROTARY ROSE. SHE LIKED IT...SAID IT WAS THE FIRST SHE HAS
RECEIVED AS SHE VISITS ALL OF THE CLUBS IN DISTRICT 5970. LOOK FOR
AN UPDATED WEB SITE FOR THE DISTRICT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
