New members' corner
March is Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month in Rotary, making it an excellent time to reflect on the impact of clean water and sustainable sanitation on communities worldwide.
Here are a few words of inspiration tailored for Rotarians:
Here are a few words of inspiration tailored for Rotarians:
"A drop of water, a ripple of change—through service,
we create waves of hope."
"Clean water and sanitation are not privileges; they are human rights. As Rotarians, we turn compassion into action to make this a reality."
"The best way to leave a lasting legacy is to ensure that every community has access to life's most essential resource—clean water."

Rotary minute
Repair Cafés
Several Rotary clubs have embraced the concept of Repair Cafés to promote sustainability and reduce waste. For instance, the Rotary Club of Wellesley in Massachusetts hosts quarterly Repair Cafés, where community members can bring items like clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, and more for repair. These events not only help in fixing broken items but also foster community engagement and skill-sharing.
wellesleyrotary.org
Similarly, the Rotary Club of Framingham has organized Spring Repair Cafés, offering free repairs for various items, including jewelry, bikes, lamps, and small appliances. https://portal.clubrunner.ca/3688

The Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group (ESRAG) encourages clubs worldwide to initiate Repair Cafés as a means to reduce waste and promote environmental stewardship. They highlight that starting a Repair Café can be a fun and impactful way to engage the community in sustainable practices. esrag.org
The global Rotary community's involvement in such initiatives suggests that local clubs might be open to exploring this concept.
