Meet Club President Dave Masters
 
 
 

Welcome to the official website for the Rotary Club of Northbrook

We are a dedicated group of volunteers committed to making a positive impact—both in our local community and around the world. At the heart of our mission is the belief that acts of kindness, large and small, can create meaningful and lasting change in the lives of those we serve.

As part of Rotary International—a global network of clubs devoted to service—we strive to build a better world through fellowship, leadership, and action.

I’m honored to serve as President of the Rotary Club of Northbrook for the 2025–26 year. As I reflect on my more than 30 years as a Northbrook Rotarian, I’m inspired by the incredible service our Club has provided to humanity.

Yet, there is still more to be done. The world needs Rotary—and our commitment to Service Above Self—now more than ever.

This year will bring some changes for our Club, but our mission and values remain steadfast. I invite all of our members, as well as our broader community, to join me in making this our best year yet!

Please contact me with any questions at President@northbrookrotary.org

People’s Water Data

Partnership Proposal between Rotary and People’s Water Data

People’s Water Data (PWD) is a global, community-driven initiative co-founded by IIT Madras, Tel Aviv University, and KMCH Research Foundation. Launched in 2023, PWD trains students to test drinking water in their communities and upload results to an open, geo-tagged platform. This effort builds both water literacy and a skilled workforce for sustainable development. In just two years, over 2,000 students have tested 10,000 water sources across India, Israel, and Uganda. Each student becomes a “water warrior,” combining science education, community action, and digital tools to ensure safe water for all values that closely align with Rotary’s mission.
 
In many communities, drinking water at the point of use household taps, containers, and filters goes untested. People’s Water Data addresses this "last mile" by engaging students in testing for bacteria, turbidity, and toxic metals. The results are shared with families and uploaded to a public dashboard, sparking local action.
 
Proposed Activities : train youth leaders in each district to lead local water campaigns. Water Literacy Drives: host joint events at schools and community centers, using PWD’s kits and platform. Rotary-Verified Water Maps: display student-collected data with Rotary logos in community dashboards. Micro-grants for Impact: support water treatment or tank-cleaning drives where contamination is found. Impact Goals for 2 Years • Train 10,000 Rotary-affiliated students. • Reach 100,000 households (400,000 individuals). • Build water quality maps in 100+ Rotary districts. • Improve water safety and hygiene practices through awareness and follow-up.
 
MOTION: The Rotary Club of Northbrook agrees to be the International Partner with host Rotary Club of Beer Sheva Israel for this Global Grant for People’s Water Data and that, if and when the Global Grant is approved, we support it with $1,500 in cash and an equal amount in 1,500 of DDF. Total cost estimated to be $50,000-80,0000.
