The San Diego Marriott La Jolla was the site for the annual changing of the guard for Rotary District 5340 leadership.  More than 350 District 5340 Rotarians gathered at the Governor's Dinner on Monday June 26, 2017 to thank outgoing District Governor Marilyn Sanderson and welcome the newest District Governor, Scott Carr and the District Governor-Elect, Mel Gallegos.  Be sure to attend our August 31, 2017 meeting when Scott Carr will be discussing his plans for the upcoming year.
 
Governor Sanderson recognized several clubs for outstanding levels of participation, and individual Rotarians for undertaking special service projects.  Rotary Club of Del Mar member and 2015-2016 District Governor Janice Kurth, who now serves as District Foundation Chair, honored 2009-2010 District Governor Marge Cole for becoming a Level 3 Major Donor.  Major Donors have given at least $10,000 to the Rotary Foundation, and Level 3 Donors have given at least $50,000 cumulatively. 
 
Most importantly, our new President, Klaus Gubernator, was sworn in as a member of the 2017-2018 President Class.
