September 11 Message from our District Governor

On this September 11, we pause to remember the innocent lives lost and the families whose lives were changed forever. We honor the courage and sacrifice of the firefighters, police officers, healthcare workers, first responders, military personnel, and countless ordinary people who showed extraordinary courage and compassion that day and in the days that followed. Twenty-five years later, the memories remain in our hearts. We remember not only the tragedy, but also the unity, kindness, courage, and strength that brought people together. As Rotarians, let us continue to carry that spirit forward. Let us choose peace over division, compassion over fear, and service over self-interest. Through our actions, we can strengthen our communities and create lasting impact for future generations. We remember. We honor. We serve. With respect and remembrance, Dr. Maksud Chowdhury District Governor 2026–2027 Rotary District 7230 Service Above Self
