Message from District Governor Dr George Senosha

Dear Rotarians of District 9400,

I’m pleased to share that Rotary Family Health Days will return in October of this year. Clubs are encouraged to start preparing now to ensure our reach extends to those who need us most—the underserved. Let’s make this year’s campaign impactful and far-reaching.

During my club visits, I’ve had the privilege of engaging in rich dialogue with many of you. The Club Visit Survey has yielded valuable insights. Thank you to all the Presidents and clubs for your openness and commitment to collaboration. As we Break New Ground, your feedback reaffirms our shared vision of service and innovation.

Last month, we welcomed Club and District Support (CDS) Officer Hanna Shipman, who joined us from Zurich to support District Governor Elect (DGE) Angelica Salomão's President-Elect Training Seminar (PETS) Learning sessions. Her facilitation of Rotary’s powerful tools was both inspiring and practical. Congratulations to DGE Angelica and her entire team!

Yours in Rotary Service                                                                                                                                                         

 
                                                                                                                            
STEPHANIE URCHICK - RI President 2024-2025
March 2025

March is here, and for Rotary International, that means celebrating Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month — a time to shine a spotlight on one of the most transformative areas of our work. This month is an opportunity to reflect on The Magic of Rotary and the profound impact we create when we come together with determination and purpose.

Years ago, I experienced this magic firsthand in the Dominican Republic. When a group of members helped people install water filters, three children watched with amazement as dirty water entered one end of a filter and clean water emerged from the other. 

MÁRIO CÉSAR MARTINS DE CAMARGO - RI President Elect 2024-2025
Mário César Martins de Camargo, a member of the Rotary Club of Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil, he plans to boost Rotary’s public image by working from the top down.

“Rotary today has strong competition for members and funds,” he says. “We need to rejuvenate the brand, especially in some zones. We should utilize post-pandemic meeting tools … to allow the president to address Rotarians all over the globe. We also need to develop more long-term partnerships with political, community, and business leaders. Let’s emphasize our greatest asset: 1.4 million volunteers.”
