Welcome District Governor Dean McHugh and Assistant Governor Dave Ebner
 
On Monday, October 10, we welcomed District Governor Dean McHugh and Assistant Governor Dave Ebner to Rotary East.  Dean will visit all 63 District 6250 clubs - that's about 3,000 members! - by the end of the year.
 
During his time with us, Dean shared his background and passion for Rotary, including his Rotary "moment".  He participated in an outbound exchange to Columbia while a student at UW-L which sparked his passion for Rotary's youth exchange, which was essentially the reason he joined Rotary.  He shared thoughts on growing and retaining membership and shared a great story about his friend Scott and the impact Rotary has had on him - all because Dean asked him to join.
 
Dean and Dave met with the Board after lunch to chat about club strengths, challenges, and best practices.  It was a great discussion!
