Chain of Lakes Rotary welcomes new district governor BY MADELINE DOLBY EDITOR
On July 1, Glenn Bowers will step into his new role as district governor for Rotary District 5960. The district covers most of southeastern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin. The district contains 64 clubs and approximately 3,300 members. Local clubs
included within the district are Shoreview/Arden Hills, White Bear Lake, New Brighton/Mounds View, the Chain of Lakes Rotary and Blaine/Ham Lake. Bowers has been interested in becoming district governor for about 20 years and has always gravitated toward leadership roles, whether in the workplace or in Rotary. “For probably 20 years, I
thought about putting my name in the hat somewhere for district governor, whether it was for Arkansas, initially, or other places,” he said. Bowers has been a Rotary member since 1986 and first joined a club in southeast Texas after participating in a group SEE ROTARY GOVERNOR, PAGE 2

Father Greg Esty grew up on St. Paul’s east side and entered seminary in the ninth grade at Nazareth Hall in Roseville, a school that educated students from 1923 to 1970 and is now part of the University of Northwestern-St. Paul campus in Roseville and Arden Hills. After college at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, he left for graduate studies in Rome and was ordained a priest by Pope Paul VI on June 29, 1975. In 50 years of ministry, Father Esty has served various parishes in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, including St. Stephen in Anoka, St. Helena Father Greg Esty in Minneapolis, St. Richard in Richfield, and St. Thomas Aquinas in St. Paul Park. In 2012, he accepted the assignment of merging St. John the Baptist in Hugo and St. Genevieve in Centerville. It was a challenging scenario, but not without precedent for Father Esty — he had previously helped guide the merger of three Catholic schools in Richfield. Known as a respected and respectful man with an open heart and a willingness to listen, Father Esty relied on his TEAM outlook — an acronym meaning Together Everyone Accomplishes More — in achieving the successful merger. He is now in his thirteenth year as pastor of St. Genevieve.
