District Governor-Elect Zachary Covington!

Did you know: Franklin Rotary Club is the home club of District 7280’s District Governor Elect?
Zachary Scott Covington has been undergoing strenuous and extensive training for the past year + to prepare for his upcoming turn at the helm to steer our district in success!
2024-2025 will be his turn to lead District 7280 and focus on the projects near and dear to his heart. Franklin Rotary Club is proud to be his home club and support his efforts at the district level.
 
This photo was taken at the 2023 Zone Leadership Summit where he and his class of “irresistible” leaders have spent time together learning, preparing and getting excited for their turn for District Governor. Great job, Zach! We are so proud of you!
 

DG John Marshal's Club Visit

Franklin Rotary Club welcomed our District Governor, John Marshall for our annual club visit. We turned out in great attendance, presented our contribution for the DG annual project.We got to hear from our Area Governor Eva Palmer. We welcomed two new, eager members.
DG John even proclaimed that FRC provided the Best Meal of his visits, and we accept this as an award!
Thank you for your visit, DG! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Rotary Fellowship Groups

Corey,
 
I had a couple of questions about the Rotary Fellowship affinity groups that I mentioned yesterday in the presentation. Here is a link to the listing of all of the different fellowships that exist:
 
 
Please share with the club - hopefully, folks will find even more connections with Rotarians beyond our community.
 
Peace,
