Change that should inspire us all

Be informed, be heard! Above all, do not be a by-stander as through your club you can have your say.  About what?  Go to creatingtomorrowrotary.org/ and have a browse through this visually stunning website with its plain language explanation about what is intended, that will affect your Rotary.  Clubs have already, or shortly will be, involved in a presentation and a Q&A about these proposed changes, but you can contact the Regionalisation team at any time and / or your District leadership who can answer your questions.
 
In September 2022, the clubs and districts in Zone 8, which includes Australia, New Zealand, and several Pacific and other Island nations will be asked to vote whether they approve participation in a pilot to develop, test and evaluate a new regional approach to supporting and governing Rotary and Rotaract clubs.
IMAGINE - the start of something powerful
Posted on Aug 04, 2022
 
The Rotary theme invites Rotarians to imagine the possibilities of a better world through Rotary service, and then to go and make it happen.  This is represented by the theme logo and the deep significance of this is explained here:
 
The 2022-23 presidential theme logo was designed by renowned Australia-based Indigenous artist Riki Salam to represent RI President Jennifer Jones’ theme and initiatives.

The logo represents key elements of Rotary while honouring the Indigenous culture:

• The circle in aboriginal culture signifies connections to one another.
• The dots around the circle represent people, one for each of our seven areas of focus.
• The circle and the dots together become a navigation star, which signifies Rotary’s guiding light.
• The solid line underneath signifies a digging stick used for hard work – a tool that Rotary’s people of action use to get things done
• Colours: purple (polio eradication), green (environment), white (peace – Rotary’s core area of focus
 
Club projects and Rotarian involvement are both local and global
