Twentynine Palms Rotary Welcomes District Governor

The Rotary Club of Twentynine Palms welcomed their District Governor and saw one of their members honored at their meeting of October 23.

Rotary District 5330 includes 60 Rotary Clubs in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties with over 1,800 members. The District Governor, Judy Zulfiqar, of the Temecula Rotary Club, visited the Twentynine Palms club to meet with their Board and members. In her remarks, she emphasized the impact Rotary has personally, locally, and globally.

After a session with the board where she offered district assistance with their local community service projects and planning, Zulfiqar called Rotarian Sandy Smith, the club’s treasurer, to the podium for unique recognition. Smith had been selected by President P.J. Welch to be named as a “Rotary Hero” for her impact on the Club and her community.

Smith is the executive director of the Copper Mountain College Foundation. Welch referred to Smith’s travels, literally all over the world, in support of Rotary and its principle of “Service Above Self.” Smith has participated in global vocational and leadership training over the years that have taken her to many cities and countries.
