This month's Rotary theme
THE ROTARY FOUNDATION
The Rotary Foundation is a vital and influential organization that plays a crucial role in addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges. Established in 1917 as the charitable arm of Rotary International, it embodies the humanitarian spirit and commitment to service that defines the Rotary movement.
Here are a few key areas of focus highlighting the importance of The Rotary Foundation:
Global Impact
Disease Eradication
Education and Literacy
Clean Water and Sanitation
Peace and Conflict Resolution
Humanitarian Aid
Community Development
Fellowship and Service
Sustainability
In summary, The Rotary Foundation is instrumental in advancing Rotary's mission to promote peace, provide humanitarian aid, support education, and address critical global challenges. Its importance lies in its ability to mobilize resources, engage volunteers, and make a positive and lasting impact on a global scale.
Through its work, The Rotary Foundation exemplifies the power of collective action and the potential for individuals and organizations to create meaningful change in the world.

New members' corner
THE ROTARIAN MAGAZINE
The first issue was published in January 1911 as The National Rotarian. It included news items from existing clubs, announcements of new clubs, and an essay by Paul P. Harris. Rotary’s founder discussed the purpose of Rotary clubs and pondered what the response would be if he asked every Rotarian, “What is the philosophy of Rotary as you understand it?”
Harris, along with Secretary Chesley R. Perry, launched the publication to share information with a growing number of Rotarians. Perry was the magazine’s first editor and held the position until 1928.
The official formation of clubs in Canada and England prompted the magazine to change its name to The Rotarian, starting with the September 1912 issue.
Early on, the magazine focused on business ethics, character development, and membership growth. Throughout the years, well-known critics and authors, along with popular artists and photographers, contributed their work to its covers and pages.
In the 1940s, the magazine published many commentaries about the effects of war by prominent writers and leaders such as Sherwood Anderson, Winston Churchill, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Mohandas K. Gandhi, George Bernard Shaw, Pearl S. Buck, and J. Edgar Hoover. A selection of these articles was reprinted in three booklets from 1942 to 1947.
As Rotary clubs formed around the world, regional magazines appeared, each offering Rotary news from a local perspective. The first regional magazine was published in Great Britain and Ireland in 1915.
More than half of Rotarians worldwide receive a regional magazine instead of The Rotarian. The Rotary World Magazine Press publishes more than 30 officially licensed Rotary regional magazines. These publications are produced independently by Rotarians, distributed in more than 130 countries, and published in more than 20 languages.
