It was obvious that our District Governor Jim Schmidt loves Rotary, which he joined when he was 28 years old. In a very pesonal way, he shared with us the reasons he joined, and why he has stayed with Rotary over all of these years. To him, Rotary is all about being able to do more good together, than any of us could possibly do on our own. He recommended that one of the best ways to introduce a prospective member to Rotary is to invite that person to join you and other Rotarians on a service project. He emphasized the importance of making every member feel wanted, valued and appreciated. Kindness in the way we treat each other, he said, is also so very important. After our club meeting, Past President John Stewart, along with AG Katheryn Tuberty, Prescott-Frontier President Linda Sweeney, and Prescott Rotary Past Pres. Candace Tomlinson, gave DG Jim a special guided tour of the Courthouse Square, showing him the monuments and other memorial markers which have been established, and are regularly maintained, by the three Rotary clubs in Prescott.

At 4:00 on Wednesday afternoon, members from all of the Prescott and Prescott Valley Rotary Clubs gathered at the historic Gurley Street Grill for a reception honoring DG Jim Schmidt, and for a great opportunity to enjoy fellowship with members of the other clubs. DG Jim Schmidt reminded us of these five key elements of a successful Rotary club experience.
