DG Cynthia with Vinings Cumberland President Jennifer Humphrey at 30th anniversary of Vinings Downhill Race

Hello Rotarians,

It has been a joy to visit with so many of you and your clubs, and to learn what makes each one unique. As District Governors before me have shared, Rotarians across our district are doing remarkable work and making a meaningful difference in their communities. Because I am still early in my visit schedule, I am especially looking forward to meeting, learning from, and supporting even more of you in the months ahead.

In July and August, I had the pleasure of visiting North Atlanta Professional Alliance (NAPA), Paulding County, Jackson-Butts, Marietta Metro, Smyrna, Harris County, LaGrange, West Point, East Cobb, Vinings Cumberland, Decatur, North Fulton, Marietta, North Atlanta, and Dunwoody. Thank you for the warm welcome and for your generosity in making donations in my honor to organizations that are creating such meaningful impact.

Due to unexpected circumstances (a car accident), I was unable to attend visits with North Cobb, North Columbus, Columbus, and Muscogee-Columbus. I am grateful to District Governor-Elect Buck Buchanan for representing me and sharing my message with those clubs. Thank you to everyone who made special arrangements to welcome me; Buck shared how much he enjoyed the visits and the opportunity to hear about the wonderful work you are doing. I look forward to visiting the clubs I missed before my Rotary year as your District Governor ends. See you soon!
