Installation Season!

Hello, my fellow Rotarians,


Over the past 30 days, I’ve completed about 16 club installations. Without question, that’s involved a lot of windshield time, and to think, my year as District Governor is just getting started!

It has truly been an honor to serve as the presiding officiant for these orderly and meaningful transitions of leadership. On a few occasions, I had the privilege of presenting Paul Harris Fellow awards, Bequest Society recognitions, and even a Major Donor Award. Each ceremony was a reminder of the dedication, heart and drive that lives in our clubs.


I had the chance to visit clubs I’d never been to before, and the drives home from those events gave me time to reflect on just how rewarding this journey has already been. Meeting the people in our clubs, the ones doing incredible work in their communities and around the world, filled me with reverence and admiration.


Watching your year-in-review videos and slide shows stirred something deep in me. A profound sense of joy and pride to be connected to this Rotary family. We are already living the message of our RI President, Francesco Arezzo: UNITE FOR GOOD.


Don’t forget to register for our Vibrant Club Workshop coming up on August 2, 2025; you’re not going to want to miss it. And get your Rotary learning on! Whether you are a Rotaractor, brand new to Rotary, or you were in the room with Paul Harris himself, RLI on August 23rd, 2025, is for you.


Have a great Rotary week, and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Your fellow Rotarian,


Your Gov,


Dale Moe District Governor 2025-2026

Devastating floods have brought disaster to South Central Texas in the area of Kerrville (Rotary District 5840). There, the Guadalupe River rose over 30 feet—well above its major flood stage—resulting in tragic loss of life and severe damage. Kerrville is home to two Rotary Clubs in District 5840. We in District 6970 are committed to standing with District 5840 and the community as they undergo immediate disaster relief and begin the long road to recovery. District 5840 is working hand-in-hand with the Rotary Clubs of Kerrville, who will guide efforts on how best to direct support and when it will be safe for volunteers to mobilize.
