The Pasta Dinner was a Success. We started off slowly, but the dining room filled at 5:00 and it was fun.
Thanks to everyone who came and worked. We had Rotaract and Interact participation - which was great.
I hope to have final numbers for you Wednesday.- For those of you who have checks or money for the ads, please bring it in. I don't want to have to chase it down. Remember, checks made out to the Branchburg Rotary Foundation - thanks. This way I can finalize all the numbers.
TO KEEP YOU ALL ABREAST OF NEW ROTARY INFORMATION
I went online to find the new Presidential Theme for 2025-2026 and found this. Please read through to understand the branding and identifiable logo importance. There will be a quiz on Wednesday- be prepared.
ROTARY PRESIDENT THEME TO BE ELIMINATED 2025-2026
The long history of a Rotary International President launching a theme for their presidential year is going away in 2025-2026. This decision was made by the RI Board of Directors at their October 2023 Meeting. (Read the details of decisions from that meeting here.)
The rationale behind the decision is based on the importance of standardizing branding and communications. The presidential themes were to be used only for internal communications to motivate Rotary members. However, too many clubs and districts used the theme as a logo to promote Rotary projects and events to the public. Additionally, the themes changed every year, and some clubs and districts preferred promoting a past theme over the current theme due to personal preference. This causes confusion with helping the public understand the focus of Rotary and what we stand for.
This is the last Presidential Theme.
As President Stephanie stated, "We are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand. It's up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member."
