Let’s Carry the Momentum
from the RI President (2025-26)
As my year as president of Rotary International comes to a close, I offer my heartfelt thanks to each member of our global Rotary family. Your kindness, warmth, and dedication have changed my life.
In every place, I saw Rotary members and our partners working side by side to create lasting, positive change, reminding me that our strength lies in shared purpose.
That spirit leads naturally to a simple truth: Rotary is not something we attend, but something we do. We are not spectators. We act, and through that action, we transform our communities and ourselves.
As we continue this work, we must keep our focus on building conditions for peace. Rotary is, at its core, a peace machine. But maintaining that machine requires intention, commitment, and steady effort.
That same resolve is needed now as we push toward polio eradication. The final mile is often the hardest, but we cannot falter in our promise to the children of the world.
You have shown that when we Unite for Good, there is no challenge we cannot meet if we stand together. Let us carry this momentum forward with courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the safety and prosperity of all.
FRANCESCO AREZZO
President, Rotary International

ROTARIAN CODE OF CONDUCT
As a Rotarian, I will:
1. Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life
2. Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect
3. Use my professional skills through Rotary to mentor young people, help those with special needs, and improve people’s quality of life in my community and in the world
4. Avoid behaviour that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians
5. Help maintain a harassment-free environment in Rotary meetings, events, and activities; report any suspected harassment; and help ensure non-retaliation to those individuals that report harassment
Rotary’s Code of Conduct provides a simple but powerful guide for ethical behaviour, emphasizing honesty, accountability, and respect for others. Along with the Four-Way Test, it encourages thoughtful reflection on how we live and interact, helping us become better citizens and better human beings.
Material Suggestions and Greeter Messages Always Needed!

Rotary minute
Rotary Connection—Anywhere in the World
Amid the stress and uncertainty, Dick made a simple request: “Can you contact a Rotarian?”
What happened next speaks volumes about Rotary.
Local Rotarians responded immediately. They arranged support on the ground, helped navigate medical care, provided accommodation, and ensured the family was not alone during a very difficult time. Through their efforts, Dick and his son were cared for, supported, and eventually able to continue their journey and rejoin the cruise.
It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t formal. It was simply Rotary in action.
Moments like this remind us that Rotary is more than meetings and projects—it is a global network of people who show up for one another, often at the exact moment they are needed most.
Wherever you are in the world, Rotary can feel like home.
