Hola Rotarios,

 

It was a hot weekend for sure, but I hope you had the opportunity to take advantage of the good weather and did something fun.

 

Happy Father’s Day to all our Rotary members, friends and Rotarians around the world.

 

This upcoming Wednesday, June 24^th, we will celebrate the end of the 2019-2020 year, and welcome the 2020-2021 year. Stefanie and I will be glad to see you join us through Zoom. It will certainly be a different vibe unlike previous years, but again, it’s a celebration and no matter how we are doing it, we celebrate Rotary and the good we do in our community and around the world. Here’s the Zoom Link Invitation: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82215706371

 

Now more than ever, Rotary Connects the World. The Virtual Rotary 2020 Convention is happening from June 20^th to the 26^th. For those that are interested to know more about the convention, here’s the link: https://on.rotary.org/virtualconvention. President-Elect Holger Knaack urged our members to seize this moment and value it for what it is, the opportunity for Rotary to build on what we’ve learned, to embrace this new reality, to embrace new faces, and to find new ways to have a continuing impact on the world.

 

I believe last year I mentioned this in one of my bulletins, I saw it yesterday in the District 7790 Facebook page and I want again to share it with you all: Join a Rotary Fellowship! Rotary Fellowships are international groups of Rotary members, their family members, program participants, alumni, and even non-members who share a common passion. From bowlers to jazz fans, scuba divers to history enthusiasts, photographers to lawyers, there’s a Rotary Fellowship for everyone. Currently, about 91 fellowships unite members in fun and friendship. I love to travel, and the Travel and Hosting fellowship is one of the largest in Rotary. Definitely something to look at for me, and I hope you find the right one for you. Link below:

 

I will share one of my favorites Rotary quotes. I hope you have enjoyed all the ones I shared during my year. “Rotarians are very much more favorably disposed toward actions than they are toward words”. -Paul Harris.
