Dear fellow Rotarians and family,

 

As the Year 2023 draws near its last day, I am grateful that Rotary District 5170 continues to champion service projects, giving back to the communities locally and globally.

Thank YOU for being that "invisible" person who changes lives! 

 

The sunset of 2023 brings the beautiful sunrise of 2024. Every day we wake up in 2024, it's another day for us to do what we love to do, to create HOPE in the world, in our communities, in our Clubs, and in ourselves. Because we live everyday!

District Governor 2023-2024

Past President and Member of the Rotary Club of Cupertino 

 

Rotary has lost a treasure with the passing of a friend, Past Rotary International President Richard “Rick” King who died this past October 11, 2023. I am honored to be called one of his three sons. A Rotarian since 1968, Rick was a member of the Rotary Club of NilesFremont, California USA. He served as Rotary International President in 2001-2002, Rotary Foundation Trustee in 1996-2000, Rotary International Director in 1989-1991, and District 5170 Governor in 1982-1983. He also served Rotary as chairman of the executive committee of Rotary International’s board of directors, an international assembly instructor, and an official representative of the president of Rotary International. He chaired and served on many Rotary International committees, task forces, and special assignments.

 

 

One of Rotary's most popular speakers, Rick addressed Rotary International Conventions, Assemblies, Institutes, Seminars, Conferences, and Rotary Clubs in every state in the USA and more than 130 countries. He had a remarkable ability to make us laugh, move us to tears, and touch many with his speeches. Many of us have been motivated by his speeches for more than fifty years when he inspired us toward a common goal or objective for the good of the Rotary organization.
