A Note from Your District Governor
 

Dear Rotarians,
 
I want to introduce myself to the district.  I was raised in New Hampton in a farm family with nine children.   I went to UNI and received a degree in business management.  Joined the Decorah Rotary in 1985.  Not retired yet, but I act like it. (still doing handyman work)
 
My goal for the year as District Governor is to continue to make your Rotary experience meaningful.  I believe we all are wanting to make the world better at HOME AND INTERNATIONALLY.  I believe that all of our district committee volunteers will continue to lead us to new heights of success.
 
On the personal side I have no agenda for myself only to help inspire everyone to achieve your goals.
 
Fun Facts,   I have been married to Jacky for 25 years.  I still call her Princess.   I love to ride my bicycle.  I enjoy hunting and fishing.   Optimism is a strength and a weakness for me.  I use the term "VALUE CONSCIOUS" alot.  My hands will have blisters and calluses.   Oh yes, I do enjoy beer after a hard day of work.
 
I am extremely excited to meet everyone of you and help you continue on your Rotary journey.
 
Respectfully
Ward Budweg
DG2025-2026
