Hi Newark Rotarians,
 
April has arrived, and with it we can officially say goodbye to winter and welcome spring. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to warmer days, plenty of sunshine!
 
March was a successful and rewarding month for our club. We were excited to welcome back the Pancake Breakfast, and it was truly a great morning. It was wonderful to see both our club and satellite club members come together, working side by side. As an added bonus, we had the opportunity to serve and connect with members of our community, who clearly enjoyed the morning just as much as we did.
 

 
District Learning Assembly – All Are Welcome!
 
If you have not yet had the opportunity to attend a District Learning Assembly, there is still time to join us on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at: Waterloo High School
 
The District Learning Assembly is designed to educate Rotary members. This event is open to all members—whether you are new to Rotary or a longtime Rotarian—who are interested in deepening their understanding of Rotary’s mission, programs, and best practices.
 
Attendees will gain valuable knowledge and practical tools to enhance their effectiveness in serving both their clubs and the community. The program is structured to foster growth, increase engagement, and strengthen our collective commitment to creating positive change through Rotary service.
 
In addition, this is a great opportunity for networking and fellowship with fellow Rotarians from across the district.

District Conference – Unite for Good
 
Join Rotarians from across District 7120 as we Unite for Good during a powerful weekend filled with fellowship, leadership, and inspiration. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Ellicottville, this conference is an exceptional opportunity to come together, strengthen our Rotary community, and exchange new ideas.
 
2026 Rotary District 7120 Conference
May 1 – May 3, 2026, at Holiday Valley Mountain & Conference Center
 
If you haven’t attended a District Conference before, you’re truly missing out. This is one of the best opportunities to connect with fellow Rotarians from across the district, build relationships, and be inspired by the impact we make together.
 
I will be hosting a gathering for our club members before dinner on Saturday evening—it’s always a great time to connect, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.
 
I look forward to seeing you there!
 

 
Don’t forget to take a moment to enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

— Chuck
