The new President of Rotary International is Francesco Arezzo, a member of the Rotary Club of Ragusa, Italy. He is a dentist. The official logo representing RI this year is  Unite for Good, which calls on Rotary members to be a force for unity in a world increasingly divided by politics, geography, and ideology. 

The Rotary year begins on July 1st. Have you ever thought about this: Every July 1st, ALL leadership positions in Rotary around the world, change! From the RI President down to local Boards of Directors. Hard to imagine how an organization like Rotary, with 33,000 clubs and 1.3 million members, can be efficient when ALL the leadership positions change every year!

 

We will welcome Cornelia to our Presidency as of July 1st and actually "pass the gave" on July 8th at our induction ceremony. We'll have a party at Tyson's home and his newly refurbished back yard. Our dinner will be catered, starting at 6:00PM. Bring a Rock! We'll do some rock painting. You should have received a e-vite.
