Carrollton Rotary Club welcomes district governor

Members of the Carrollton Rotary Club welcomed Rotary District 6650 Gov. Kimberly Weiss and her husband, Dan, to the club’s March 31 meeting.

Kimberly and Dan Weiss are members of the Minerva Rotary Club. As district governor for a term running from July 2025 through June 2026, Kimberly Weiss is visiting each of the district’s 45 Rotary clubs while also maintaining full-time employment and fulfilling other duties of the position.

During the meeting, she shared updates on district activities and upcoming events. She said the Purple Pinkie Project held last fall raised $7,000, which qualified for a 1-to-2 match from the Gates Foundation, resulting in $21,000 to support ongoing efforts to eradicate polio worldwide.

Weiss also highlighted service projects across the district, including peace-building initiatives such as the installation of Peace Poles in community locations by several clubs, including Minerva. Additional focus areas include conflict resolution, including ShelterBox efforts in Syria; environmental projects, including Operation Pollination; literacy initiatives, including support for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library; as well as maternal and child health, disease prevention and treatment and water and sanitation efforts.

She said four clubs within the district are celebrating 100-year anniversaries this year.

Weiss also provided information on the upcoming district conference, scheduled for May 16 at Great Trail Golf Course.
