Welcome to Rotary Year 2022-23

This is a very special year for Rotary, with the first woman President of Rotary International. President Jennifer Jones brings us a message of how we Rotarians can continue to make the world a better place by imagining how we can all work together to overcome the challenges of hunger, thirst, climate change, disease control, lack of education and equality for all. Let us all continue to do our parts to achieve these goals.

Nominations for District Governor 2025-2026

Nominations are now being accepted for the position of District Governor for the Rotary Year 2025-2026.

The deadline for submission is October 15, 2022.

Here's how a club may submit a nomination...

Meet the Governor

Imagine Rotary. How do you imagine your club in five years’ time? What great service projects will be completed in your community or in the world? What new members will be attracted to join your efforts? What lives will be impacted and changed forever because of your work?

Having spent most of my working career in the nonprofit world membership organizations like ours place a high emphasis on growth. I believe it our responsibility as Rotarians to create club cultures and club experiences that are inviting, rewarding and fun for prospective members. What barriers need to be addressed so everyone may have a great Rotary experience? What assistance does your club need to grow?

I am fortunate after a two-year hiatus to be able to visit your clubs in person and to meet each of you. Please also invite me to your service projects and fundraisers. Let’s have fun this year, do good things in the world and ask others to join us on this journey. Lots of questions here. Let’s find out the answers together!

Mike Chaffee, District Governor 2022-23

Only a Plane Ride Away

Posted by Dennis Dinsmore

Rotary leaders frequently say in their speeches that "Polio is only a plane ride away". We recently got proof that this omen could become a reality when in July, 2022 the US Center For Disease Control announced the confirmation of a polio case in the United States.

An unvaccinated young adult in Rockland County, New York was verified with having polio, probably contracted from a family member or friend visiting from another country who may have had no symptoms and was totally unaware of possible infection.

Each district in the Rotary world selects a COL Representative to consider, debate and vote upon proposed enactments that have the power to amend the constitutional documents, namely the Constitution of Rotary International, the By-Laws of Rotary International and the Standard Rotary Club Constitution. Rotary clubs, districts and the RI Board propose enactments.

Your COL Representative attended virtually and was one of the 522 representatives involved. Initially 94 proposed enactments were to be considered with adopted enactments changing the constitutional documents effective July 1^st following the COL.
