January is Rotary Awareness Month
January
is the month that we put an extra focus on putting Rotary in the public eye
with additional press releases, maintaining contact with the local media, AND
a time when WE ALL should focus on telling our friends and
colleagues about the good works of Rotary and OF our club. We have
much to be proud of and to share, and most importantly, much to offer potential
Rotarians. Remove the basket from over the Rotary candle, and let it shine!
Rotary
Timeline – 1967: Rotary officially launches the World Community Service
program, expanding the ability of Rotary clubs to do good throughout the world.
Today, clubs provide an estimated US$26 million in funds and supplies through
World Community Service annually.
