What happens when you spend a year visiting Rotary clubs across District 5400? In the first installment of the new Town Hall Conversations series with Mike Markley, District Governor, Immediate Past District Governor Kathy Buck shares the lessons, surprises, and moments that shaped her year of service.
From witnessing the passion of Rotarians in communities large and small to seeing the life-changing impact of RYLA firsthand, Kathy reflects on what gives her hope for Rotary’s future. Her message is simple but powerful: Rotary succeeds because of people who care, serve where they are, and work together to make a difference in their communities.
The conversation also explores how Rotary changes not only the world around us, but the people who serve. Kathy’s personal stories and insights offer inspiration for Rotarians at every stage of their journey.
