Your District Team has just returned from LoneStar PETS. It was incredible! PDG Carolyn Franks did a superb job of emceeing the Saturday Dinner and will be Operating Chair in 2026. DGE Damon Donnell did an excellent job of leading us and introducing 2025-2026 initiatives and goals and DG Jeff Johnston, DGN Diane Kavanaugh, PDG Mike Groom, Trudy Williams, Landon Forbes, Pamela Walters, and I enjoyed working with our Presidents Elect and introducing and facilitating the learning modules. DA Shirley Pinnix-Evans kept us on track. All Presidents Elect and Presidents Nominee attending are prepared for a truly stellar Rotary Year and after Sunday’s Foundation qualification the Clubs represented are qualified to use TRF grant funds after completing the Memorandum of Understanding. Most importantly, they have an advantage in knowing the amount of 2025-2026 funding available to their Club. If you were not there, you were missed and missed out on an incredible learning experience.
Regardless, do calendar and plan to attend Local PETS. It will be a great refresher for those attending this past weekend and it will begin to prepare those we missed for their vital role as a Club Officer.

If you have interest in or questions about our Legacy Dinner planned for April, there may still be time to join if you act quickly.
Please check the other articles in this newsletter or contact PDG Ted Huffhines or DG Jeff Johnston.
Most importantly enjoy Rotary and follow the new theme of Rotary “Unite for Good”.
