Adkins Encourages Peace Through Service

Pres. Steve and Gov. Don discuss an active Rotary
program with the Board

District Governor Don Adkins made his official visit to Newport Rotary for the year on July 30, 2012, and encouraged the club to embody this years's Rotary theme "Peace through Service". He recognized the club for its tangible service in the Newport community, including recent projects in downtown Newport and planned projects such as the community Halloween Hootenanny. Governor Don thanked the club for its support of worldwide Polio eradication efforts and for support of the humanitarian and educational programs of our Rotary Foundation. He encouraged Newport Rotarians to "keep doing what you are doing", encourage membership growth, and participate in upcoming district events like the Foundation Seminar, Foundation Banquet, and District Conference.
