Rotary International President 2023-24, R. Gordon R. McInally, a member of the Rotary Club of South Queensferry, Lothian, Scotland, says, "As we reflect on an extraordinary year, I am so proud and inspired by how our clubs found innovative ways to connect with their members, communities, and the world.
Gordon said to Rotary District Governors, including our 2023-24 District 5040 Governor Shirley-Pat Gale, "During the 2023-2024 Rotary year, under your leadership, the clubs in your district worked to increase their membership, contribute to The Rotary Foundation, serve their communities, participate in Rotary programs, improve their public image, and so much more. As a result, at least half of the Rotary clubs in your district earned the 2023-2024 Rotary Citation."
Of the 530 Rotary Districts worldwide, our Rotary District 5040 is one of 111 districts Gordon is recognizing for this accomplishment in presenting the 2023-2024 District Citation certificate for at least half of the clubs in the District having earned the Rotary Citation. Out of that 111, District 5040 was in 31st position with 83% of our clubs having received the Rotary Citation.
Gordon adds: "Again, I congratulate you on your efforts to grow Rotary and for a job well done!"
