Five years since its debut, Rotary Club Central is getting a big upgrade
When we introduced Rotary Club Central in 2012, it revolutionized goal tracking and planning for clubs and districts — no more filling out paper club-planning forms or passing along boxes of historical club information every time a new leader took office.
Rotary Club Central offered clubs and districts a quantifiable way to begin measuring local and global impact, specifically membership initiatives, service activities, and Rotary Foundation giving.
But as with any technological advancement, in a few short years, Rotary Club Central began to show its age, and Rotarians took notice. They...
Rotary International Board adopts new zone structure
At its January 2017 meeting, the Rotary International Board of Directors adopted a new zone structure for Rotary clubs.
Rotary bylaws require the Board to complete a comprehensive review of the 34 Rotary zones no less often than every eight years to ensure that each zone has an approximately equal number of Rotarians. The Board’s previous review of the zones occurred in 2008.
The Board earlier approved the creation of three regional workgroups to develop rezoning proposals for Asia, Europe/Africa, and the Americas. These workgroups comprised one representative (either a current director,...

Convention: Southern hospitality
The Atlanta Host Organization Committee is offering some good old-fashioned Southern hospitality at the Rotary International Convention from 10 to 14 June. It has planned a wide range of activities featuring everything from good food and music to inspiring tours of local landmarks. If it’s your first convention, these events are chances to meet fellow Rotarians from around the world, and if you’re an experienced convention goer, you can catch up with old friends.

Member spotlight: The power of the press
When Teguest Yilma helped found the Rotary Club of Addis Ababa Entoto in 2002, she thought polio had already been eradicated from most of the world. But while Ethiopia had been free of the disease, Yilma was shocked to learn that new cases had started cropping up in surrounding countries such as Somalia.
“I was thinking, it’s not possible, we can’t be free if the countries around us are not free,” she says. Yilma, the managing editor of Capital, Ethiopia’s largest English weekly newspaper, has brought a journalist’s skills to the fight against polio. She became vice chair of the Ethiopia...

Mary Lou Wadsworth (far right) modeled at the UCONN Auxiliary Fashion Show at Lord and Taylor to benefit the Auxiliary's fundraising efforts. Club members Mecheal Hamilton, Jennifer Deiderich, Irene Engel and Bette Case were there to show their support. During the remarks at the show, we were happy to hear them acknowledge that the Farmington Rotary had given their financial support for the cameras which have been installed in the UCONN Health Center NICU so that parents can see their babies even when they are not present in the unit.

The high point of Farmington Rotary's April 5 luncheon was when Liz Miller, Artistic Director of the Hartford Opera Theater, serenaded our own Jon Landry. Liz sang in Italian, taking the part of a 15 year-old girl pleading with her father (played silently by Jon) to let her marry the man of her dreams. Behind the pair are Michelle Murray Fiertek, a sprano vocalist like Liz, and Michel Korman, accompanist.

Our speaker on January 19 was Meg Fanion, President-elect of the Bristol Rotary Club and co-worker with Robin Barrett at the Infinity Music Hall. Meg told members how she had become involved with Rotary as a member of Interact when she was 14 years old, attending Bristol Central High School. After college, her first job with The One Campaign gave her the impetus to join Rotary and she soon became involved with its many activities. She was surprised to be asked to be President at the age of 28, but realized that she wanted to do it and will even assume the post early since the current president has personal family issues.
