Dear Fellow Rotarians,

As we approach the last few hours to the end of the Rotary year 2023/2024, Stella and I want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unwavering dedication and remarkable service to humanity. Your commitment and passion have truly *Created Hope* in our communities and beyond.

This year has been filled with numerous challenges and opportunities, and together, we have navigated these times with resilience and determination, upholding the Rotary ideals of service above self. I am immensely proud of the achievements we have accomplished as a District, thanks to your collective efforts.

From providing clean water to communities, to supporting education, promoting health, and fostering peace, your contributions have had a profound impact. These projects have not only improved the lives of those we serve but have also strengthened the bonds within our Rotary family.

I would like to particularly acknowledge our club Presidents, Assistant Governors, Committee Chairs and past District leaders for their leadership.
May I also take this opportunity to appreciate all Rotarians of our District for your dedication throughout the Rotary year; Your support has been greatly instrumental in driving our initiatives forward.

As we look forward to the new Rotary year, let us continue to build on our successes and strive for even greater heights. Together, we can achieve more and continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of those who need it most.

Thank you once again for your outstanding service and for embodying the spirit of Rotary. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed, and I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Emeke Utebor

Rotary Lapel Pins Update.

Starting in November, all Rotary member pins sold by licensed vendors will feature current Rotary branding. Members can still wear the old “Legacy Emblem” logo pins, but won’t be able to buy them. The Legacy Emblem’s retirement is an ideal opportunity for clubs and districts to review their logos and promotional materials to ensure the correct logo and logo lockups are being used. Visit the Brand Center to ensure your club is using the Rotary logo and logo lockups correctly.

*Our land. Our future*

All over the world, ecosystems are threatened. From forests and drylands to farmlands and lakes, natural spaces on which humanity’s existence depends are reaching a tipping point.

Land restoration is a key pillar of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), a rallying call for the protection and revival of ecosystems all around the world, which is critical to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

This is why World Environment Day 2024 focuses on land restoration, halting desertification and building drought resilience under the slogan *“Our land. Our future.*

We are .” We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land.

*DISTRICT GOVENOR’S MESSAGE FOR JUNE*

My dear friends and fellow Appreciator Rotarians,

It is with the most grateful heart and deepest Joy, that I welcome you all to the month of June 2024, the last month for the 2023/2024 Rotary year.

This Rotary year can be said to have been the most impactful year for me since my existence as a Rotarian and this has been made possible by Rotarians like you. My wife Rtn Stella and I wish to appreciate all Appreciator Presidents who had worked tirelessly to make sure that we achieve our goals and aspirations, the Assistant Governors who haven’t relented in making sure that clubs complied with whatever that is required, the various Committee chairs who have kept the Committees running and to every other Rotarian who paid their club dues, contributed to the Rotary Foundation and helped us increase our membership by inviting at least one person to Rotary this year. May God reward your labour of love and perfect all that concerns you.

My dear friends, we started the month of May with the District Conference, despite the challenges experienced in the course of the Rotary year and loss of some very wonderful Rotarians, Rotarians trouped to Asaba to celebrate a year well spent creating Hope and appreciating Humanity.
My Special appreciation goes to the Central Planning Committee Chairman PAG Byron Unini and the entire team for pulling off the most memorable and World Class standard District Conference, which the Rotary International President Nominee Mario and his wife Denise who represented the Rotary International President Gordon Mcnally havent stopped talking about. My profound thanks to the DGN Anthony Woghiren and his beautiful spouse Theresa, who withheld nothing in discharging their duties as Aides to our International guests.

Still in the month of May, Our District recorded tremendous excellence in Service delivery with the Commissioning of several District Grant Projects across the District, the Awards of District Education Fund Scholarship to deserving benefactors and the massive turnout of our Rotarians at the just concluded Rotary International convention which was held in Singapore. It has been a wonderful way to usher in the very last month of the Rotary year. I want to appreciate DGND Anthony Olikagu, PAG Chiedozie Nwaka and PAG Percy Okojie for cordination of all of the above stated.

June as we all know is the month for recognizing all Rotary fellowships, promoting them and creating avenue for their understanding. It is also the month for celebrations and change of baton from one administration to the other and preparation of the grand entrance into the new Rotary year.
Dear Presidents, finish stronger than you started by ensuring that you render your account of stewardship for the Rotary year.

Finally my dear friends in Service, as we all know, it is not over until it is over. The next 30 days is still enough to reach your Membership and the Rotary Foundation goal and bring back the final Awards home.

Let us solidify the Hope created this past eleven months until the clock strikes 11:59pm, June 30th, 2024.

District Governor
