Rotary 2020-2021 Theme
Rotary International President-Elect Holgar Knaack has just announced the theme for 2020-21!
 
It is "Rotary Opens Opportunities".

"Knaack, a member of the Rotary Club of Herzogtum Lauenburg-Mölln, Germany, revealed the 2020-21 presidential theme, Rotary Opens Opportunities, to incoming district governors at the Rotary International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA, on 20 January.

Rotary isn’t just a club for people to join, but rather 'an invitation to endless opportunities,' said Knaack, who becomes president on 1 July. He emphasized that Rotary creates pathways for members to improve their lives and the lives of those they help through service projects.

'We believe that our acts of service, big and small, create opportunities for people who need our help,' Knaack said. He added that Rotary creates leadership opportunities and gives members the chance to travel the world to put their service ideas into action and make lifelong connections. 'Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere,' said Knaack."
