Our District 7070 newsletter is meant to keep everyone in our Rotary family up to date on latest news from around the Rotary world, from the clubs in our District, from the various committees in District 7070 and beyond. We send it out to all active Rotarians and post it on to our District Facebook page. We ask that you share this letter and keep our entire Rotary family and friends informed. Make sure they all get a copy. The deadline for your story submissions is always 4 days prior to the end of the month. Check out our District 7070 Facebook Page, Twitter, Instagram accounts and our District 7070 website for the latest news about Rotary here in southern Ontario and around the world.

A suggestion to the District Leadership Team, Assistant Governors and Committee Chairs : Send in a story about what your committee is doing and tell our clubs how they can connect with you.
A suggestion to 2021-22 AND 2022-23 Club Presidents: There is a place in the Newsletter for News from Clubs. What have you accomplished that you would announce to everyone in the District? (Please note that we would love to see your "accomplishments", not "fundraisers" and not "cheque presentations").
NOTE TO 2021-22 AND 2022-23 CLUB PRESIDENTS: Did you know that there are OVER 100 Rotarians in our District that do not get this newsletter and other important information and letters and announcements from our District Leaders? Their email addresses have likely been changed. Please ensure that all of your members have the correct email address in their ClubRunner profiles.
This District Newsletter is sent to all active Rotarians and Rotaractors that have their contact info in Clubrunner. Be sure to send this District 7070 Newsletter and your club bulletin to your community leaders, your local media, prospective members, and to the whole Rotary family. Keep them informed. Tell your Rotary story .
Thanks everyone!
