A Look Ahead at Rotary District 6000 | 2027–2028

Governor-Elect Gretchen Nollman

If you know me, you know I am a planner! So, naturally, I am already looking ahead to the 2027–2028 Rotary year. Why wait until the year begins to start dreaming, building, and getting excited about what we can accomplish together?

I am thrilled about the opportunities ahead for Rotary District 6000, and I believe we have an incredible chance to make this a year of renewed energy, meaningful connections, innovative service, and lasting impact.

My vision is simple: Let's make people excited about Rotary ... whether you are a long time Rotarian, a Rotarian in for less then 10 years, a new Rotarian for less then 2 year, or thinking of having a friend join rotary!

Rotary has given so much to me, and I will admit it — I have definitely drunk the Rotary Kool-Aid! I believe in what we do, the people we serve, the friendships we build, and the difference we make in our communities and around the world. Now, I want to help others experience that same enthusiasm. I want people to see Rotary not simply as an organization they belong to, but as a movement, fellowship, network of friends that they are proud to be part of.

As we look toward Rotary's 2030 membership goals, we have an opportunity to think differently, try new things, strengthen our clubs, and create experiences that make people say, "I want to be part of that!"

WE DID IT! WE PAINTED THE QUAD CITIES RED! ❤️

After nearly 90 days of planning, coordinating, promoting, fundraising, and bringing people together, the World's Largest Polio Walk – Quad Cities is officially in the books, and what an incredible success it was!

First, I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to every person who played a part in making this event happen. Your time, talents, energy, resources, generosity, and commitment helped turn an idea into an amazing day of fellowship, community engagement, and action toward a polio-free world.

What made this event especially meaningful was the collaboration and partnership between Rotary District 6000 and Rotary District 6420. This was a wonderful example of what happens when we put district lines aside, work together, and unite behind something bigger than ourselves.

We were especially excited to have 10 Rotary clubs from across District 6000 represented, alongside our friends and fellow Rotarians from District 6420. That kind of participation demonstrates the power of Rotary connections and what we can accomplish when clubs and districts come together around a shared purpose.
