For the first time, Rotary International (RI) will have a female as President for the 2022 - 2023 Rotary year.
We are very excited to welcome RI President Elect Jennifer Jones to Edmonton for a HUB stop as she and her husband Nick travel across Canada showcasing Rotary in 13 HUB stops.
In celebration of her visit, we are planning many exciting activities that will allow members of all ages from across our vast geographic District to participate in.
ROTARY DAY OF IMPACT
We invite Clubs to register a community service event - big or small - in their local community so we can show the world what change we can all make in one day. Even if your idea is even just a spark for now, we would like you to register your idea anyhow.
Imagine the collective impact across Rotary District 5370 if Rotarians focused their efforts to make the biggest impact we can together!
This is our chance to welcome her with positive, community impact activities in every corner of our District!
After you register your event, we will be in touch with an "Activation Pack" that will include follow up information you will need.
DEADLINE to register is JUNE 15, 2022
