Advocate for health during World Immunization Week April 24-30 is World Immunization Week and a chance to share how you — and Rotary — help protect kids in your community and around the world so they can live healthier lives. Learn how vaccines protect entire communities from the spread of disease and how Rotarians fighting polio slowed the spread of Ebola. Become an end polio advocate in your school and community, organize a fundraiser to support immunization efforts around the world, or volunteer for a project through Rotary Ideas. RYLA spells success in San Salvador Young leaders from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Panama met at RYLA El Salvador 2015 to discover their leadership potential, make new friends, and learn how to make a difference in their communities. The Rotary clubs of El Salvador joined together to plan a fun-filled Rotary Day fundraiser for the event and showed the community how they invest in future leaders through RYLA. Share how your RYLA event empowers young leaders and creates lasting friendships on our RYLA Facebook page. Another year of leadership and service is coming soon The Rotary year is almost over, and it’s time to start thinking about the future. Have you elected a Rotaract or Interact president for the 2015-16 Rotary year? Hold an election now so you can work together to prepare for the new year. Don’t forget to report your 2015-16 club contact so you can stay connected to Rotary and receive all of our information and resources. Current Rotaract presidents and advisers can sign in to Rotary.org to report their information. Everyone can use our Interact and Rotaract update forms. Make your updates by 30 June so you don’t miss out on any communications. Overheard on social media “Malala Fund is making a documentary to share Malala’s incredible story! Follow them on Facebook to stay updated as the film develops and read more about this inspiring education activist and champion of girls’ rights in The Rotarian Magazine.” — Interact on Facebook
“Around the world, Rotary supports the development of young adults through Rotaract, Interact, Youth Exchange and RYLA. Rotary’s programs help young adults develop leadership skills, make new friends, explore new cultures and give back to their community. Learn more about Rotary’s programs for young leaders.”—Rotary International on Vimeo “Rotary Scholar alumni Kelsi Cox works in Fiji teaching students to use tablets. ‘By supporting education and embracing technology, we can address poverty and inequality.” — Rotary on Instagram |

Spotlight on service: Nevada, USA | ||
School break is the perfect time for service On the first Saturday of spring break, most Beaver Dam High School students were sleeping in. Not the members of the Beaver Dam High School Interact Club, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mesquite in Nevada, USA. These Interact members woke up bright and early to lend their support to a community garden. They rolled up their sleeves to build a new compost bin and get the garden ready for springtime. Thanks to the work of these Interactors, local residents can now plant fruits and vegetables and nourish them with compost from the new bin. |
