Good wishes, Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors & Earlyactors!

This past month in District 7070 has been nothing short of magical!

There is such beautiful energy in the air — amazing events, fundraisers, social gatherings, and, most importantly, grounded hearts helping our communities.

I’ve seen clubs coming together not only to serve, but to connect with one another. And what I love even more is seeing those social events attracting new members and giving others a glimpse into what Rotary is really about.

I was especially impressed with our Learning Tuesday Youth Panel this past week. Four wonderful young speakers, and it was so clear how much they supported and encouraged one another. I left feeling reassured that our world is in good hands.

I know that everything you do takes planning, heart, and the determination to take action.

And I am incredibly proud of our Presidents — of the collaboration I’m seeing, whether it’s happening on the WhatsApp group, through hands-on help at events, or simply brainstorming and sharing ideas with one another.

This is Rotary at its best.

DON’T KEEP ROTARY A SECRET! 

We Rotarians tend to be humble. We don’t always brag about all that we do—but maybe it’s time we did!

Don’t keep Rotary and your achievements a secret. Tell the world!

One of the best ways to do that is through social media. It is such a powerful way to tell our stories, create awareness, showcase what our clubs are doing, and attract new members.

You are doing a phenomenal job with your social media posts. Every photo, every video, every story gives your community a window into Rotary. It shows the commitment, compassion, and energy that exists within our District.

And when people see what we do, they begin to understand how we Create Lasting Impact.

So keep posting. Keep sharing. Keep telling your Rotary stories!…. Please Read more…..

For the fall of 2026, we are staying with our Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) programming in the virtual format.  Although we all appreciate that videoconference will never replace the personal connection that we get from meeting face-to-face, RLI is a very successful program with overwhelming response and enthusiasm from Rotarians across the District. Rotarians new to Rotary and even those with many years of service benefit from learning how we can create strong clubs with vibrant members who are engaged and committed to Service Above Self.

How to Use Instagram and Reels and Tell Stories to connect your club with your community. 

Do YOU Want to: Boost your club's positive public image, connect with a younger group of potential members, and learn some tips how to do all of this using Instagram?  Then this is for YOU. 

Join Rotary 7070 District Public Image Committee member and York Rotary Club President Beatrix Yip (she knows Instagram) and Zone 28 Assistant Public Image Coordinator Joe Solway as they lead you through story telling and how to use Instagram to connect your club with “younger generations” in your community. And you will learn how easy it is to create "Reels".  This session is made for club presidents, club public image chairs and committee members, membership chairs and committee members who want to better connect with younger generations in their community, and great for club members who already know how to add posts to Instagram and make them "work" for your club.  There will be lots of time to ask questions from YOU, the audience. A Zoom link will be sent on the Tuesday morning before the event.

We are excited to welcome Rotarians and Friends to the Annual Rotary Foundation Walk to be held in beautiful downtown Campbellford.
