As District Governor, I would like to welcome you to Rotary District 5890, comprised of 62 outstanding Rotary Clubs and over 3,000 community service minded Rotarians, located throughout the Greater Houston Area. District 5890 is one of over 500 districts within Rotary International, which represents over 1.2M Rotarians worldwide.
This year's theme "Reach Within To Embrace Humanity" inspires us to search within ourselves to understand that all of us have the same dreams, hopes and aspirations. Then we truly understand the importance of our work. We want to reach out to non-Rotarians, explain the purpose of Rotary, validate our work as Rotarians, emphasize Rotary's current mission and share the achievements of what we do best. Click on Welcome To Rotary, and let us share our passion for community service. If you wonder "Why Should I Be A Rotarian", click on it.
We invite you to explore our website and learn of the various activities & programs of the clubs throughout Rotary District 5890.

The Rotary Foundation is offering double Foundation recognition points for all recurring contributions (through Rotary Direct) to the Annual Programs Fund between 1 April and 1 July 2012. Rotary Direct (formerly known as TRF-Direct) is The Rotary Foundation’s recurring giving program. There, you can select an amount, frequency (monthly, quarterly or annually), and contribution method (credit card or bank draft) to donate to our Foundation painlessly. I encourage you to set up recurring gifts to the Annual Fund (Share) and/or PolioPlus, as the other options (giving to the 6 area of focus) do not benefit our District. What are the promotion details? | | Posted by Jon R. McKinnie on May 09, 2012

On March 16, 2012, Bellaire/Southwest Houston Rotary gifted its namesake city with an elegant new landmark: a fifteen-and-a-half foot clock tower that now graces the central intersection of Bellaire Boulevard and S. Rice Avenue in the heart of Bellaire’s Paseo Park. "We're extremely proud to be able to do this for our wonderful community," club spokesperson, attorney Nan Wagoner said. "The inscription, ‘It’s always time for service above self’, on the commemorative plaque is a Rotary reminder of the importance of community spirit in keeping Bellaire the great place to live and work that it has become - - and it's also the motto that Bellaire Rotarians try to live into every day," she added. | | Posted by Jon R.

As you remember, now Past District Governor Sunny Sharma encouraged Rotarians to do business with Rotarians. The District developed a comprehensive district directory, listing every member and their vocation to facilitate the Rotarian interaction. The concept was, if you had need for a service or project, wouldn't you prefer to do business with a Rotarian, who follows the 4-Way test OR pick a business through the internet or call someone in the phone book. Even more importantly, what about the Rotarian who is looking for better opportunity, better environment, has lost their job due to the economy or company downsizing, To facilitate this, we have created a very simple, Rotarians Helping Rotarians web page on our district website. | | Posted by Terry R.

The last Polio case identified in India was certified on January 13, 2011. So, today we celebrate One Year of Polio Free India! Many told us it was impossible - there were too many people, they had too many other health problems, many were too hard to get to, many lacked the understanding of vaccines and as recently as 2009, India counted more Polio cases than any other country in the world (741). We are now that much closer to being "This Close" to ending Polio forever! | | Posted by Michelle Bohreer on Nov 11, 2011

The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people — regardless of nationality — desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for ourselves and our children. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures, thus planting the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding.
