RI President's October message

October 2018

Every Thursday morning, I receive an email from the World Health Organization with an update on the status of polio eradication. It contains a wealth of information, country by country:

where and how immunization campaigns are being conducted
how many millions of children are being vaccinated
where environmental surveillance has found evidence of circulating virus.

But every week, when that email appears in my inbox, my heart seems to stop for just a moment until I read the first few lines – and learn whether a child was paralyzed by wild poliovirus that week.

DG Patrick's message October 2018

Dear fellow Rotarians,

Our beloved Rotary provides us with an array of resources that ensures that our service to humanity, not only makes a difference but inspires those that we serve. In September, Rotarians place emphasis on the importance and value of basic education, literacy and our young generation.

Gala Video - Who we are!

The countries represented in the video were countries represented by our members in the early days!

A diverse group!

And the music is the Rotary Anthem, so listen carefully!

Speech in San Diego

Make Public Image a Priority if we want to grow, if we want to attract new members and new partners, if we aspire to make sure that everyone recognizes Rotary and knows us as People of Action.

Getting to know Barry Rassin

Several miles off the shoreline of Nassau, Barry Rassin, the 2018-19 president of Rotary International, balances in the bow of the bobbing Rat Bat. There are no colossal cruise ships out here, no noisy Jet Skis, only the occasional passing pleasure boat and the sound of water lapping against the hull. In the turquoise sea below, giant turtles glide across the ocean floor.

“To me,” Rassin says, “the sea is freedom, it’s peacefulness. When I’m out on the water, everything fades away. You feel like you’re at one with the world and nothing could go wrong.”

New Vision Statement

At its recent meeting in Atlanta, the RI Board of Directors adopted a new vision statement:

"Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves."
