Hello to my fellow District 5810 Rotarians. August has been a very busy month for our clubs and district.

RMDTI offers some excellent training for all types of positions on both the club and district levels.
This month, Rotary International awarded the Club Excellence Award to 11 of our District 5810 clubs. This award is Rotary's highest recognition for club achievement. The award is earned by entering your club's goals in Rotary Club Central, selecting half of the available goals, achieving those goals and entering the results in Rotary Club Central by June 30. Congratulations to all of these clubs! They went above and beyond in service, leadership, innovation and member engagement!!
