President Lorraine's April Mesage

April is Magazine Month, a time to celebrate the opportunity to network through  Rotary’s official magazine, The Rotarian, which provides valuable information to over 1.2 million Rotarians and their families is a wonderful magazine!

The RI Bylaws require that all club members subscribe to The Rotarian or a Rotary regional magazine. Rotary leaders, district governors, and club presidents are encouraged to support magazine editors in their country or region by submitting story ideas, promoting readership, encouraging timely subscription payments, and assisting with other communication efforts.

When I take time out to read The Rotarian , it simply helps to promote a unified and global image of this wonderful organization we love called Rotary International.  The collaboration of editors from different parts of the world can help put together a tool for communicating the strength and appeal of Rotary International.”

So for Magazine Month, I encourage every member of Rotary II to take some time and read the wonderful stories that are written so beautifully in The Rotarian.  Make an effort to peruse the pages that introduce you to  wonderful words of wisdom from our International President, Kalyan Banerjee, learn about essay documents that talk about clean and pure water, polio plus campaigns, letters from Rotarians around the world, information on health and nutrition , travel and cultures just to name a few.  Check out the resource guide that can give you information on New Rotary Foundation Facts, and collections of video magazines, and new Rotary Foundation giving opportunities. Engage yourself in the monthly crossword puzzle and see where you can stay if you’re traveling and don’t care to stay in a hotel! I would suggest staying  at a Rotarian’s villa somewhere around the world.  So Rotarians, enjoy our magazine this April.  After all it is  Magazine Month and there is so much we can all learn!

Warm Rotary Regards,

Lorraine E. Baa

President
