A New Rotary Year Brings New Leaders and Projects

Mark Allen Middleton, a member and past president of the Rotary Club of Dunedin North, has begun his term as District Governor of Rotary International District 6950 for the 2026–2027 Rotary year, which encompasses Rotary clubs throughout Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties.

Middleton previously served Rotary District 6950 as an Assistant Governor and as its Water Projects Chair. He has been actively involved in Rotary service projects focused on providing access to safe drinking water. Most recently, Middleton returned from Kenya, where he participated firsthand in the implementation of a clean-water project funded through the Charitable Foundation of Dunedin North Rotary. The approximately $10,000 project provided a potable water filtration system designed to create a sustainable source of safe drinking water for the local community. Funding for projects such as this supports the planning, equipment, installation, testing and education necessary to help local communities operate and maintain clean-water systems for the future.
