This year’s Rotary theme, “Unite for Good,” could not be more timely. Around the world—and right here at home—we face social, economic, and political challenges that test our values and our unity.
The question is: how do we live out this theme? We start by building bridges. By encouraging open, respectful dialogue. By honoring differences instead of letting them divide us. And by working toward a more harmonious society.
Rotary has always been about more than service projects. It’s about leadership. In this moment, we are called to lead by example—to bring people together, to listen, and to act with courage and compassion.
When we do, we show our communities and the world what it truly means to unite for good.
