The three bedrocks of Rotary are our members, our Foundation that benefits the World, and spreading the word of all the good things we do to positively impact our communities.

Join us October 8, 2024, at the Four Points Sheraton in Wakefield, for an interactive session focused on these three important Rotary topics with information you can take back to your Club and use immediately, dinner with fellowship, and a keynote speech from PDG Tom Gump from Rotary District 5950 in Minnesota.

Tom has founded multiple innovative Rotary Clubs, is a member of RI's Membership Growth Committee, has spearheaded local and large international grants, and is currently Aide to our Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick.

 

All clubs are strongly encouraged to have Officers, Directors and committee chairs or representatives from Membership, Foundation and Public Image participate.  This will be a fun, informative and interactive learning forum.  We hope to have all clubs in attendance.

The cost per attendee is $40 and you can register here! 

Calling all Heroes! Save the date of Thursday, November 14, 2024, for the return of our Heroes Celebration.

As in past years, Clubs will nominate a person in their community who isn't always recognized for their extraordinary service to others.

Our event will be held at Danversport Yacht Club. Watch for more info to follow -- but be on the lookout for a deserving nominee.  I encourage each Club to honor a Hero in your community.

Let's celebrate some great people, be astonished by their contributions, and celebrate the Magic of our Rotary Foundation.
