Imagine Rotary - Mega Impact Day

On July 9, RI President Jennifer Jones will be visiting District 5370, with a hub stop in Edmonton. This is our chance to welcome her with positive, community impact activities in every corner of province.

Imagine the collective impact across Rotary District 5370 if Rotarians focused their efforts to make the biggest impact we can together!

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.

After you register your event, we will be in touch with an "Activation Pack" that will include follow up information you will need.
