DG Pat Kriebel
I’m so honored to have been selected as the 2014-15 District Governor for District 7170. The district is here to support and strengthen the clubs in the district. We are available to provide training and help you in any way we can. I have a passion to serve Rotary. So, let’s work together in our goal of “Service Above Self”. As this year’s Rotary International theme says, let’s “Light Up Rotary” together for 2014-15.
I was so proud to have a good representation from the Endwell Rotary Club at the “Pass the Gavel” ceremony at the District Conference. I had several members of my family attend- Mark’s sister Laurie and her husband Brad Cumming, Brad’s brother Don and his wife Leslie. My daughter, Jennifer, and my beautiful granddaughter, Jaylynn. Last, but not least, my son, Dan, who flew in from Africa to surprise me. My husband, Mark had signed him up for the conference as he is a YE Alumni, but didn’t tell me. I have to say, District 7170 kept the secret very well.
I was proud to be able to present District Governor Tom a nice award for his work in Youth Exchange and his great work as District Governor for 2013-2014. The Youth Exchange program inspired my husband Mark to serve as District Governor in 2006-2007 and now me to serve in 2014-2015. It was so wonderful that our Youth Exchange Alumni son, Dan, was able to be here for this conference.
