One of the colorful traditions of many Rotary clubs is the exchange of small banners, flags or pennants. Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take banners to exchange at "make-up" meetings as a token of friendship. Many clubs use the decorative banners they have received for attractive displays at club meetings and district events.
The Rotary International board recognized the growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and suggested that those clubs that participate in such exchanges give careful thought to the design of their banners in order that they be distinctive and expressive of the community and country of which the club is a part. It is recommended that banners include pictures, slogans or designs that portray the territorial area of the club.
Exchanging club banners is a very pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic banner tells an interesting story of community pride. The exchange of banners is a significant tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our international fellowship.
See many of the banners we have exchanged over the years here.

ROTARY PIN CHALLENGE - Week 11
This week’s pin is a peacock Judith McCaffrey brought back from her Rotary National Immunization Days (NID) in India. It represents two things to me. The peacock is the national bird of India and represents a country certified polio-free in 2014 by the World Health Organization (WHO) after going three years without an endemic case of polio. It is also a symbol of integrity and the beauty we can achieve when we endeavor to show our true colors, the same characteristics I see in my dear friend.
I have challenged myself to wear my Rotary pin EVERY day. By doing this I hope to raise awareness of Rotary and Rotary's work. I invite all Sunrise Rotarians to join me in wearing a Rotary pin EVERY day.
By Karen Kawaguchi, Club Service Director
