DISTRICT GOVERNOR JEB BAKKE VISITS THE ROTARY CLUB OF RANCHO SANTA FE 💙💛⚙️

District Governor Jeb Bakke recently visited the Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe, sharing his Rotary story and some of the experiences that have shaped his journey of service.

Jeb reflected on meaningful moments throughout his Rotary life — including his experiences building homes for families in Mexico 🏠🇲🇽 — and the people, projects, and moments of connection that have continued to influence how he views Rotary and service today.

His story highlighted something Rotarians experience throughout our District: often, the greatest impact of service is not only what Rotary accomplishes for others, but also how those experiences shape us along the way. 🌎❤️

The club also added some Top Fun to the visit by presenting Jeb with a special “ROWtarians” shirt and canvas featuring the message “One Crew. One Purpose.” 🚣‍♂️⚙️ The design celebrates District 5340, San Diego & Imperial Valley, and the idea that our clubs may each have their own identity, but together we are all part of one Rotary District — moving forward with a shared purpose.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe for welcoming District Governor Jeb Bakke and for continuing to Create Lasting Impact through fellowship, service, and connection.
