This event has to be the club's favorite. There's nothing better than being able to socialize with friends while enjoying such a delicious meal. This year was no different. With the help of the Rockville High School students, we were able to enjoy another fantastic night with the residents at the Pitkat Center in Vernon. Here are some pictures that captured the night....jpg)

Every spring and fall the Rockville CT Rotary Club volunteers their time in doing a clean up project, whether it's for an individual in the community who cannot keep up with their yard-work, or if it's a common space for a town they serve. This year, they decided to help out the Town of Vernon in cleaning up around the Talcottville Congregational Church. The members raked leaves, pulled weeds and laid new mulch. Thanks to all who helped out!! It looks great!

On Monday September 29, the Rockville CT Rotary Club celebrated our own "Rotary Day" by inviting prospective members to be guests for a day so we could show them how our Rotary Club works as well as how recently involved we have been in our community. With 11 guest, including the Assistant District Governor Marty Fins, it was a full house. Club President Jim Turney presented several checks to local organizations in hopes that our tiny gesture can make a huge impact. We were able to donate to the following organizations: Kara Wolters' Dream Big Camp, Cornerstone Foundation, KidSafeCT, and the Indian Valley Family YMCA.
In the pictures below are John Reilly accepting on behalf of the YMCA; Judy Clarke accepting from KidSafeCT; Helen Syriac accepting from Cornerstone; and Kara Wolters accepting on behalf of her Dream Big program.

Five years since its debut, Rotary Club Central is getting a big upgrade
When we introduced Rotary Club Central in 2012, it revolutionized goal tracking and planning for clubs and districts — no more filling out paper club-planning forms or passing along boxes of historical club information every time a new leader took office.
Rotary Club Central offered clubs and districts a quantifiable way to begin measuring local and global impact, specifically membership initiatives, service activities, and Rotary Foundation giving.
But as with any technological advancement, in a few short years, Rotary Club Central began to show its age, and Rotarians took notice. They...
Rotary International Board adopts new zone structure
At its January 2017 meeting, the Rotary International Board of Directors adopted a new zone structure for Rotary clubs.
Rotary bylaws require the Board to complete a comprehensive review of the 34 Rotary zones no less often than every eight years to ensure that each zone has an approximately equal number of Rotarians. The Board’s previous review of the zones occurred in 2008.
The Board earlier approved the creation of three regional workgroups to develop rezoning proposals for Asia, Europe/Africa, and the Americas. These workgroups comprised one representative (either a current director,...

Convention: Southern hospitality
The Atlanta Host Organization Committee is offering some good old-fashioned Southern hospitality at the Rotary International Convention from 10 to 14 June. It has planned a wide range of activities featuring everything from good food and music to inspiring tours of local landmarks. If it’s your first convention, these events are chances to meet fellow Rotarians from around the world, and if you’re an experienced convention goer, you can catch up with old friends.

Member spotlight: The power of the press
When Teguest Yilma helped found the Rotary Club of Addis Ababa Entoto in 2002, she thought polio had already been eradicated from most of the world. But while Ethiopia had been free of the disease, Yilma was shocked to learn that new cases had started cropping up in surrounding countries such as Somalia.
“I was thinking, it’s not possible, we can’t be free if the countries around us are not free,” she says. Yilma, the managing editor of Capital, Ethiopia’s largest English weekly newspaper, has brought a journalist’s skills to the fight against polio. She became vice chair of the Ethiopia...
