On July 1, Spencerport Rotarian Dave DeMers became District Governor in charge of Rotary District 7120. The district encompasses an area stretching from Hilton south to Wellsville, east to Elmira and north to Red Creek. District Governor DeMers will be in charge of 63 Rotary clubs and almost 2,000 Rotarians. DeMers is excited to take on the challenge of leading Rotary clubs in the Finger Lakes.
District Governor DeMers states that one of his goals is to let the public know the benefits of belonging to a local Rotary club and the tremendous service that Rotarians perform locally and internationally. DeMers said, “Many people in the community are not aware of all the good that Rotary performs. Rotary is not an exclusive organization and all persons are welcome to join no matter what their background is.”
District Governor DeMers is a retired Rochester Police Department officer and also worked for the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department. Peace is another area of focus for DeMers, hoping to improve peace in the local communities. His career as a law enforcement officer has given DeMers a strong insight into getting to the root of a problem and being able to resolve the situation in a peaceful non combative way.
