The Program
For the past 31 years Brighton Rotary Club and District
7120 has home hosted over 375 Governor Elects and
their spouses from 33 countries worldwide. Each
Governor Nominee guest is assigned two Rotary hosts.
Their first host meets them at the airport on arrival and
takes them to their home. In the middle of their stay
everyone meets at Brighton Rotary Club’s Exchange
Dinner. All the hosts and guests have the opportunity to
get acquainted and share Rotary experiences.
May 2000
When the meeting is over the guests leave with their
second host for the balance of their stay. The following
pages describe some of these years activities and the
comments from guests. If you are an alumnus of our
hospitality program we hope this issue brings back fond
memories and that you will be reminded to recommend
our program to your Governor Elect. If you are a
Governor Elect we hope this newsletter will make you
want to come to our hospitality program

Our Guests Arrive
The Rotary District 7120 International Governor Elect
Hospitality Program has a new name. At the District
Conference on April 29, 2000, the Brighton Rotary Club and
Rotary District 7120 officially renamed the program “The Milt
Matthews Governor Elect Hospitality”.
Milt Matthews has contributed much to Rotary. Joining
Rotary in 1956 he became a Charter Member of the Brighton
Club and was its president in 1967-68 and the District
Governor in 1971-72. He conceived and ran the first ever,
President Elect’s Training Program, conceived and
corresponded with “Rotarian Wanta No”, invented the Rotary
Information Quiz Contest, annually sells the most pancake
tickets, and has been Brighton Rotary’s leader in proposing
new members to the club. He has served as Rotary
International President’s Representative at Dist 717 in 1973,
Dist 701 in 1978, Dist 779 in 1981, and Dist 751 in 1986. He
has been a Rotary Information Counselor to Districts in New
York, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada. Milt has served the
Rotary Foundation in many areas.
At the airport arrival for our South American guests are: (front) Milt
Matthews, Danilo & Elsa Marcón D4790, Emiko & Nelson Shiokawa
D4630, Jim Wilkison, Elaine Schwarz, (rear) Helene Wilkison Gearld &
Merilyn Faulkner, Donna Moore. 528-04
The “Milt Matthews Governor Elect Hospitality” was
conceived and started by Milt in 1969 and the first
International Governor Nominees were hosted in the spring on
1970. The program has grown over the years and is
internationally know as one of the best hospitality programs in
Rotary. The program has been copied by many other districts.
The many Friendship Exchanges that we now enjoy are a
result of PDG Milt’s program.
In honor of PDG Milton C. Matthews, Brighton Rotary and
Rotary District 7120 is pleased to rename this program “The
Milt Mathews Governor Elect Hospitality”

Snow Country USA
This year our guests were treated to a record amount of snow. While some of our local Rotarians become “snow birds” (they fly
south) in the winter others love it for the beauty and the winter sports. Our guests enjoyed it too. Eddie & Val Loughnan, D9780
Victoria, Australia wrote in April, “We’re moving into colder weather now, but will not experience anything like the snow and cold
we saw in NY State. Everyone kept apologizing for it – but we thought it was magic and the countryside was so beautiful in the snow.
We also thought Niagara was magnificent – freezing, mind you, but nevertheless beautiful in the conditions very few others would
venture to experience at that time of year.”
