MAKING MENTAL HEALTH A PRIORITY
Greetings, District 5130!
Even though Mental Health Awareness Month was in May, I wanted to wait until our last 2025-26 newsletter to report on the amazing work you did all year long, in both addressing mental health issues in your communities and showing compassion and kindness to each other in general.
It has been my true honor to serve as your DG, and the friendships and connections I have made with you will never be forgotten. And look at all the beautiful and rockin’ music we made together, as demonstrated by the year-end Walk Up Song Playlist. I will keep these songs in a special place in my heart and think back on all the remarkable work you did under the leadership of your Presidents + AGs, as we lived up to the #UniteforGood theme and spread the Rotary message throughout the world.
Unite for Good,
Kristine Redko
District Governor, 2025-26
