#flatpaulharris watches Chief Strategy officer, Tom Thorfinson of Rotary International talk about Rotary's Vision Statement.
District 5970 revealed Flat Paul Harris at North Central President Elect Training this past weekend in Ames, Iowa. Flat Paul Harris is a public image project based on the popular children's books about Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley has been entertaining young readers for generations ever since being flattened by a bulletin board in his bedroom in 1964. He maintains his popularity by traveling around the world, having friends log his travels with photos from places near and far.
District 5970 has given each club a Flat Paul and we want to see where you take him! Please honor Paul Harris' legacy and celebrate the accomplishments of Rotary by including him in photos with your club! Post the photos on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) and use the hashtag: #flatpaulharris. Please also tag District 5970!

Greetings!
What would you, your community, and the world be missing if Rotary never existed...Lots!
Every day, you can see the good Rotary does..even if you do not realize it. Be sure to take a minute sometime and consider the projects and service your Club and you have done for the community and the world!
It is so gratifying to be part of an organization that “does good” and continues to innovate to remain relevant today and into the future. Sometimes, innovation is challenging and frightening...fortunately you accept the challenge and change to ensure your Club remains relevant in your community. Thank you!

Last Saturday night I and several others from our District Leadership Team attended a fundraising event held by the Cedar Falls Rotary Club. The proceeds will be used to fund a global grant to provide water wells in several Honduran villages. During the event, an eight year-old girl named Lyra Benjamin was honored for her charitable work to help people in need. To celebrate her First Communion, she chose to raise charitable funds instead of receiving personal gifts. Lyra raised nearly $1,800 to help victims of Hurricane Irma. The really impressive thing she and her family did was to research which charitable organizations she could trust to handle disbursement of the funds. What did her research tell her? Trust Rotary International!
