| I would like to take this opportunity to announce the plan for events during the 2022-2023 Rotary year and it will be like déjà vu all over again. Back in the winter of 2019, in a hotel lounge in Michigan, Director Valarie came up with an amazing concept to hold the pre institute training traditionally associated with a Zone Institute into a separate event and have two separate Zone functions focused on the United Nations Sustainable Goals. The events being planned for the 2020-2021 in Bermuda and Alaska were going to focus on Life Below Water and Life on Land. A tremendous amount of work went into the planning of all three events which due to the pandemic did not come to fruition. It is with the foundation and inspiration that Director Valarie set forth that we will be replicating the three events in the 2022-23 Rotary year. In the coming months I will use this forum to highlight these events in order. To kick off this I will begin with the first Zone event for 2022-23 – Life Below Water being chaired by Melissa Ward-Rathbun. |

Please plan on joining us September 1-6, 2022, where we will depart NYC on the incredible Norwegian Joy for a 5-night cruise to Bermuda. While onboard the Norwegian Joy, you will have the opportunity to hear speakers talking about actionable steps we can all take to preserve our oceans, sea life and lead a more sustainable life highlighted by presentations from ESRAG, NFP Partners, and NGOs. Look out for more details from Melissa in the coming months. We encourage you to book now for the best availability and cabin selection. You only need a refundable deposit of $250 to receive your space.
Below please find further details on the amazing event Melissa and her team are putting together. For further information please follow this

I can not begin to tell you how excited I am for this in-person event in which we can all come together and enjoy the fellowship that our Zones provide.
