Dear Rotarians of District 5810, We had a wonderful Rotary year 2016-2017. And it is not just us saying so, the rest of the world recognized the good that happened here and coming out of North Texas. The aggregate success we had was only possible because of the work from the individual Rotarians led by their club presidents working together with district support to ensure we accomplished all that we set out to accomplish and more. Most importantly we had a whole bunch of fun! I wish to extend much joy and gratitude to all who served on our district leadership team as well as to our club presidents. Our work began way in advance, with articulate pre-planning, that resulted in us achieving well executed projects and activities. What made me the most proud throughout the year was observing our Rotary clubs working together with joint projects, joint collaborations, joint coordinations, and joint accomplishments. Our Rotarians know the meaning of serving humanity and have accomplished this together within their Texas communities and worldwide. We have done so much good this year. We are leaving a lasting legacy of all we have accomplished. Now it is up to you to make sure we hold on to the good we created. It has been a true pleasure for me and my family to serve you and District, Thank you and God bless, Bill

What would it take to change the world? Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotarians are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. Rotary District 5810 had over 2,500 Rotarians in around 65 Clubs scattered around eight (8) counties in the Northern part of Texas. The counties are: Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman, and Rockwall.

“Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves.” —Paul P. Harris
In the beginning, Rotary came from a lonely man’s hunger for friendship and fellowship. Today this 1.2 million-member organization was build on his vision. Paul P. Harris, a Chicago attorney formed one of the world’s first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member. Our ongoing commitment. Rotarians have not only been present for major events in history—we’ve been a part of them. From the beginning, three key traits have remained strong throughout Rotary: We’re truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Today we’re working together from around the globe both digitally and in-person to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems. Our commitment to service is ongoing. We began our fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. Polio does still exist today, although polio cases have decreased by over 99.9 percent since the
1980s, when the world saw about 1,000 cases per day. There were only 37 cases a reported in 2016. This reduction is the result of the global effort to eradicate the disease. We persevere in tough times. During WWII, Rotary clubs in Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Japan were forced to disband. Despite the risks, many continued to meet informally and following the war’s end, Rotary members joined together to rebuild their clubs and their countries.

A wheel has been the symbol of Rotary since our earliest days. The
wheel was said to illustrate "Civilization and Movement."

5th Convention Houston, TX June 22-26, 1914 with 1,288 in attendance
Excerpt from Message to the 1914 Convention Though Mr. Harris was ill and could not attend the convention at Houston, he nevertheless sent the following greeting especially addressed to new clubs and new members. HOW REFRESHING, HOW INSPIRITING, THE INFLUENCE OF NEW FRIENDS. "Rotary is an influence to the acceptance of the broader views of things. In the world of trade, Rotary may reasonably claim to be one of the major influences.” "Glad new Rotarian faces will make Rotary more and more enjoyable. “ “It is to be sincerely hoped that new Rotarians will make Rotary in all respects better as time rolls on.“ "The future of Rotary is shrouded in expectant mystery. It will be for you, mv new Rotarian friends, to aid in the unfurling of the Rotarian destiny. Until the Houston convention in 1914, Rotary had celebrated all its conventions in August. After the convention in Buffalo, 18-21 August 1913, the dates of the Houston convention were changed to 22-26 June 1914. Subsequently, the conventions of San Francisco (1915) and Cincinnati (1916) were celebrated in July. At that point, Rotary established a tradition, programming the convention for a date near the end of the Rotary year, in May or June.
During the convention Rotarian Chas. A. Woodward of San Francisco presented "The Old lronsides" gavel of the Association to President Greiner. Rotarian Woodward at 92 was the oldest Rotary member in the Association. He got a tremendous ovation.

6th Convention International Association of Rotary Clubs San Francisco, Cal. July 18-23,1915 with 1,988 in attendance
Paul Harris again was absent due to ill health "It's a grand thing in this period of the world's history, when great nations are at war, to see two such standards raised aloft as have been raised by two of the world's great organizations. ‘Truth’ and ‘Service’ herald the dawn of a new day.“ Paul Harris excerpt from message address to the Sixth annual convention, 19th July, 1915.
Rotary's code of ethics were adopted at the 1915 convention. The actual dissemination of the code was discontinued by the RI board in 1952 but the code still exists. The 1915 Convention at San Francisco was held between July 19th and 23rd. The climate was clearly affected by the Great War that had erupted in Europe. The Rotary Marching Song (sung to the tune of Onward Christian Soldiers)
HISTORY OF ROTARY’S DISTRICTS started at this convention. Organizations of all kinds flourish and grow in proportion to the dedication and strength of their membership and their leaders. The growth and strength of Rotary International reflects the service given by its members within their districts over the years. From the beginning of the first Rotary Club in Chicago, until 1915, there were no Rotary Districts. Clubs acted independently and came together in exchanges between clubs that were geographically close in proximity, and at national meetings organized by Paul Harris and Ches Perry of the Chicago club. H. J. “Bru” Brunnier was President of the Rotary Club of San Francisco in 1914. He is recognized as the originator of the district idea in Rotary. His idea came about during a regional fellowship gathering at a six-city meeting in Tacoma, Washington. Returning by train from Seattle following the conference, Bru awakened in the middle of the night with his idea. He summoned a porter to bring him a railroad schedule of the United States, which also included a map of the USA. Bru’s involvement in Rotary provided him with knowledge of the location of most of the 100 clubs in Rotary at that time. He placed them on the railroad schedule map with dots to show their location. He then combined the clubs on the basis of rail transportation and arrived at 13 groupings. His map and his idea formed the basis upon which Rotary leaders adopted the district plan at the Rotary Convention of 1915 in San Francisco.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF DISTRICT 5810 The organization of districts first occurred during the 1915-16 Rotary year with Texas and Louisiana being designated as District 12. In 1917-18, Louisiana was excluded and Texas 12.remained as District Another reorganization in 1922-23 designated Texas as District 18 with the exception of that portion of the state just west of a line drawn from the eastern boundary of New Mexico. The Rotary year 1925-26 saw a further division of the remainder of Texas when it was divided in half by an east-west line drawn just south of Waco. Subsequent reorganization in 1937-38, 1949-50, 1965-66, and 1970-71 when Dr. James Cade of Texarkana was the District governor, saw the designation of what became District 581 as we know it today. With the renumbering of all Districts worldwide, by RI in 1991, District 581 became district 5810 Comprised geographically of eight counties: Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman, and Rockwall, in an area roughly seventy miles wide and one hundred forty miles long. District 5810 is the smallest of the ten present districts in Texas geographically, but it is tied with several other districts for the number of clubs. District 5810 is included in Rotary International zone 21B.

GOVERNOR CHAIN on FIRE!
Leadership in Rotary is a journey; where one goes and what one does is entirely up to each Rotarian. My job as District Governor is to help Rotary leaders on their journey by providing resources and encouragement. ~ DGE Rick Amsberry I am honored to be in line to guide District 5810 to continued success as we Rotarians seek to serve others above ourselves. 5810 is recognized as a strong district and it takes every small kindness, every club's service project, every contribution to our Foundation, every Rotarian's dedication and every District initiative to maintain that reputation. Rotary changes lives, and I am proud to be a part of that tradition. ~ DGN Beverly Grogan

On Monday, January 2, 2017 at the 128 th annual Tournament of Roses Parade, our Rotary Float was awarded the Princess Award for the most beautiful float 35′ and under. Congratulations! “Doing Good in the World” was the Rotary Foundation Centennial celebration entry. Rotary is a community based organization that has international implications so we do good works not only locally but internationally. Featured along the floats 35-foot-long-friendly-dragons- body are the symbols that represented the philanthropic efforts by Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation. A 100-year medallion hung off the dragon’s bit celebrating The Rotary Foundation Centennial. Each of the float outwalkers where authentically dressed representing different countries around the world and carrying a classic cinnamon coated suitcase featuring symbols of the six Rotary areas of focus and Rotary’s signature program “End Polio Now” emblem. Why is Rotary in the Rose Bowl Parade? Because in 1979, when Rotary was celebrating its 75 th Anniversary, Rotarian Jack Gilbert of the Wilshire Rotary Club in Los Angeles, California had an idea. He believed that by entering a float in the 1980 New Year’s Day Rose Parade, Rotary could communicate its message “Service Above Self” to millions of people worldwide. And for the last 33 consecutive years, we did just that! Our annual participation in the parade is unquestionably the highest visibility Rotary promotion in the world. Congratulations to Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation on 100 years of serving humanity, changing lives and improving communities all over the world.
