District Governor, Loring Miller, is a third generation Rotarian. His grandfather founded the Rotary Club in Leon, Iowa where Loring and his wife Phyllis currently reside. The Millers are warm, generous and authentic and bring these wonderful characteristics to their 2015-2016 term. During the first 6 months of this Rotary year, the Miller’s plan to visit all 64 of the district’s clubs.

DG Miller’s message “Be a Gift to the World” resonated throughout his remarks at the meeting. He highlighted three areas of district goals: The Foundation, membership and youth service. He talked about how crucial all three of these are to the ongoing vibrancy of Rotary.
 

DG Miller also noted that he enjoyed meeting with the Club’s Board ahead of Rotary and noted that he is very impressed with our club’s involvement in aiding the community. He told members that he feels that the best community project in District 6000’s history was the “Operation Warm Coat” initiative. The district had 100% participation and Rotary was able to provide over 9,000 coats to needy children in our area.
 

Global grants are also a passion of Loring Miller’s. He was surprised to learn that 200,000 children are born annually with Clubfoot. This is the international focus for his year as District Governor and DG Miller is working to bring awareness to all of the clubs in District 6000 and encouraging all clubs to have a fundraising event this year for the RAG4Clubfoot to purchase braces.  DG Miller would like to be able to give a box of braces to each doctor trained in the Ponseti Method. 100% of all of the money generated will go to help doctors get access to these braces.
