District 49's theme this year is "One Canoe, Many Paddles", emphasizing teamwork as we all work to achieve our goals. We're excited to once again be a Distinguished District after a two year absence. We've recruited another excellent team of Area and Division Governors to help members and clubs to meet their goals again this year. In the year completed June 30, 2006, District 49 had:
- 6 President's Distinguished clubs
- 7 Select Distinguished Clubs
- 11 Distinguished Clubs
- 1 Presidents Distinguished Area
- 2 Select Distinguished Areas
- 4 Distinguished Areas
- 2 Presidents Distinguished Divisions
These achievements represent the hard work of members, clubs and the leadership of the District Executive Council headed by Past District Governor, Gloria Shishido. But life is a journey, not just a destination, and I and the DEC look forward to working with you and your club(s) as we set out to do it all over again - Achieve Distinguished Status!
As Gloria would say - you are all Amazing 49-ers!
Mahalo and Aloha,
Kevin Doyle, District Governor 2007-2008
