Hello Rotarians,
As Rotary focuses this month on Membership and New Club Development, let us remember that when we work together to do good in the world and share the Rotary story, everyone benefits.
Every service project, fundraiser, and social gathering is an opportunity to strengthen friendships and build new ones. By welcoming prospective members into our Rotary experience, we can learn what they are looking for—and help them find the club or Rotary opportunity that is right for them.
Sometimes that may mean introducing them to another club. Sometimes it may mean creating something new, such as a Satellite Club that meets after work or a club focused on service projects that meets on weekends. The goal is simple: find new ways to connect people with Rotary and give them meaningful opportunities to serve.
Rotary International President Olayinka Hakeem "Yinka" Babalola's message is "Create Lasting Impact." In addition to our meaningful service projects and supporting our club members, what better way to accomplish this than by investing in the next generation through Rotaract, Interact, and EarlyAct? With mentorship, service, and positive example, we can inspire young people to become leaders who will change their communities and our world.
When we welcome others into Rotary, we strengthen our organization today—and create a lasting impact for generations to come.
Yours in Rotary Service,
Bo Norton District Governor
