August is the time of the year when we celebrate the heart of the club, its membership. Being in Rotary you learn about one another and develop deep connections with each other. We learn about people skillsets, cultural differences and their passion for service.
At this moment, there are over 1.2 million Rotarians in over 35,000 countries worldwide. Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta’s call for action is “Each One Bring One”, his goal for this Rotary Year is to increase the membership to 1.3 million by June 2022.
During the month, the Rotary Club Of Tortola took a fun initiative in highlighting and remembering its dynamic members by sharing their Rotary story. I am a Proud Rotarian profile was created to highlight the uniqueness of each member. In addition to this, the profiles aim to change the mindsets of others within the community, inspiring them to join the club and commit to “Serve to Change Lives”.

During the month, the club acknowledged its rich history, important achievements and membership succession that transcended through generations. Our Together is better: Family within Rotary highlights those moments.
