This story published on Rotary.org will give our members and the community some insights into the person of new Rotary International President Ian Riseley.

 

Members of Rotary District 6840 had an opportunity to meet with President Riseley at the Mid-Year Checkup in Mississippi earlier in 2017.  At that time, our club president, Bob Vaughn, mentioned how many volunteer hours our club had donated in the first half of the 2016-17 year, and this captured President Riseley's thought.  One of Rotary's self-inflicted wounds is that few members of the wider community know just how much Rotarians make a difference.  As such, our club is developing a new tool - coming soon! - to help us better track and communicate just how much work we are contributing to our community and the world.
