Mary Ryan Bedosky is just starting the Rotary year as 2025-26 District Governor for District 5810. She is a member and Past President of the Richardson East Rotary Club. She joined Rotary in 1994 when one of her bank customers invited her to a meeting. Little did she know that she would be replacing that customer as a new member of the Richardson Sunrise Club! She served as Community Service Director and later as Treasurer for that club. She joined the Richardson East Rotary Club in 2003 and served on its board in such roles as Community Service Director, Foundation Chair and Membership Chair. They finally convinced her to be Club President in 2020. YES – that was during COVID. She had a challenging but successful year, while only holding one weekly meeting in person – her very last meeting! The club’s annual Gala still raised over $30,000 - even though it was held remotely.
Since then, Mary has served the District as an Assistant Governor for three years, then as the Team Lead for the Assistant Governors. She has been preparing for her role as District Governor since 2023. She has traveled to Honduras and Mexico with the District to participate in service projects as part of two District Conference cruises. She is a three-time Paul Harris Fellow and is working towards becoming a Rotary Benefactor.
We will be collecting shoes again at our meeting on July 17 so you still have a chance to make sure foster kids show up with new kicks for their first day of school.
