Dear Fellow Zone 28/32 Rotarians,

Wherever in North America you hail from, know that the Impact Tour is coming to your district. Beginning July 1, 2026, and over the next 24
months, while I serve as Director, I will be visiting each and every district in our two zones – from Barrow to Bermuda as well as Kelowna and Kalamazoo and Kingston.

Why am I coming? To better experience the work of Rotary that you and your fellow Rotarians are doing in your own backyards. To gain improved perspective on our Rotary movement and all we achieve. Most importantly, I want to share with you the fabulous story of how Rotary makes it possible for you and me and all of us to work together to make our communities prosper and to help those neighbors who may be less able to look after themselves than are we. Nothing could be more critical to our continued success, especially during these troubled times. And so, along the way, I hope to meet and speak with as many of you as possible, whether you are a seasoned District leader or a newbie Club Rotarian.

 

My visit is also a great opportunity for some fabulous public image. Visit the Swag Shop (below) and display your Rotary spirit and excitement as the Impact Tour comes to you. Tees, caps, jackets – vendors on both sides of the border are ready to help you show your Rotary spirit!

 

Questions? Ideas about where the Impact Tour could be most meaningful? Find the Area Captain for your district on this page and reach out. 

 

I look forward to seeing you soon – at your own district gathering.

 

Marty Peak Helman
Rotary International Director 2026/28
