Rotary District 7640 in South Jersey Inducts New Leaders
Rotary International District 7640 in South Jersey inducted a new District Governor, Leadership Team and Club Presidents for the 2011-2012 term of service.
Williamstown, NJ, July 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Cherry Hill resident and long-time Rotarian Alan F. Stein, was installed as the 2011-2012 District Governor of Rotary International District 7640 in South Jersey during a dinner on June 18th at Scotland Run Country Club in Williamstown. Nearly 150 were in attendance as Stein and incoming District and Club Leaders, were sworn in.
2010-2011 District Governor CarolAnn Jeronimo, member of the Rotary Club of Woodbury Breakfast, formally recognized Stein for his years of service as she passed on the reins of leadership.
“Alan lives and breathes Rotary,” remarked Jeronimo, whose new role will be District Director of Training. “Under his leadership, the District is poised for continued growth, as we move forward in pursuit of service to our fellow man.”
In his inaugural speech, Stein recognized Jeronimo for her leadership and spoke frankly about direction for the new year.
“We are charged with changing the perception of Rotary in the District,” said Stein. “Our Clubs have members of all ages, from all walks of life. We’re not just a bunch of old men. Our Club members are vibrant and tireless. They impact the community. They change lives, not only here, but around the world.”
District 7640, encompassing Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem Counties, has 53 Clubs and over 1,250 members throughout South Jersey.
The event was organized by the Rotary Club of Voorhees Breakfast, of which Stein is a member. Glenn Paige, Past-President of the Club, served as Master of Ceremonies for the evening and the talented Michael Salvador, a 19-year old from Mullica Hill and star of the Pennsauken Youth Action Committee Theatre’s upcoming production of Ragtime, moved the crowd with a stirring rendition of “God Bless America,” kicking off an exciting evening of celebration and fellowship.
Rotary is an international, humanitarian service organization made up of men and women from all walks of life. Founded in 1905, business and professional leaders from across the globe dedicate themselves through Rotary to truth, fairness, improved relations between people and world peace. With no political or governmental agendas, Rotary Clubs work autonomously to create innovative solutions to meet the needs of others in their local communities and throughout the world. Through the efforts of Rotarians worldwide, people in developing countries have clean water to drink. Destitute children have decent places to live and schools to attend. Polio has been nearly eradicated from the planet. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
In addition to actively supporting international projects, Clubs in District 7640 locally feed the hungry, promote literacy among the young, build community playgrounds, contribute to disaster relief, facilitate student exchange programs, and much, much more.
“Rotarians are do-ers,” said Stein. “We don’t just sit around and talk about doing good things…we roll up our sleeves and we make it happen. We make a difference.”
