Rotary International President’s Message of July 2018

Dear fellow Rotarians, One year ago, your Rotary International Board of Directors adopted a new vision statement, reflecting our aspirations for our organization and its future. It reads, "Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change Рacross the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves." That simple sentence distills so much of what is essential about Rotary. We unite, because we know that we are far stronger together than we could ever be alone. We take action, because we are not dreamers, but doers. We work to create lasting change that will endure long after our involvement has ended Рacross the globe and in our communities. And perhaps most important of all, we work to create change in ourselves Рnot just building a better world around us, but becoming better people ourselves. Also read...
