Message from Club President, Patrick
Rotary's goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.
Rotary members make amazing things happen, like:
Opening schools: In Afghanistan, Rotary members opened a girls’ school to break the cycle of poverty and social imbalance.
Teaching adults to read: Rotary members in the United States partnered with ProLiteracy Detroit to recruit and train tutors after a study showed that more than half of the local adult population was functionally illiterate.
New teaching methods: The SOUNS program in South Africa, Puerto Rico and the United States teaches educators how to improve literacy by teaching children to recognize letters by sounds instead of names.
Making schools healthy: Rotarians are providing clean, fresh water to every public school in Lebanon so students can be healthier and get a better education.
Enhancing educational systems: In Kenya, Rotary clubs are working with the Global Partnership for Education and local and national governments to advance life-long learning opportunities for poor and marginalized children.

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.

Environment
Humour
Our teenage son, Marc, never misses an opportunity to remind us that he needs his own car. One morning as I drove him to school, it was apparent that we would be late. I asked him to write a note, which I would sign when we arrived.
At school, he handed me a pen and the note, which read: “Marc is late this morning due to car trouble. The trouble is, Marc doesn’t have his own car, and his mom dries too slowly.”

He looked at me, thought a moment, then asked, “How long would you have to stay?”
***
One night about 10:00 p.m., I answered the phone and heard, "Dad, we want to stay out late. Is that okay?"
“Sure,” I answered, “as long as you called.”
When I hung up, my wife asked who was on the phone.
“One of the boys,” I replied. “I gave them permission to stay out late.”
“Not our boys,” she said. “They’re both downstairs in the basement.”

Rotary Members' Inspiration
Designing your Rotary experience
Attend club meetings and events
Introduce yourself to members in your club to get to know them better. Being genuinely interested in others shows people you value hem, and these small interactions can lead to lasting friendship.
Create a My Rotary account
When you register for a My Rotary account and create a profile, you can access rotary’s online tools and locate and connect with members near and far using the find a Member tool.
Attend District Meetings and Events
Clubs are grouped into more than 500 districts worldwide. By connecting with other clubs and leaders in your district, you can learn how to get involved in Rotary beyond your club and make a greater impact.
Get involved with Club Initiatives
Volunteering to take part in a project, attend a meeting, or serve in a club role such as being on a committee, will let you work with others in meaningful ways and contriute to your club’s impact. You can also suggest speakers from service and project partners or from other organizations that share Rotary’s values. Ask your club how you can help.
Visit another club
You can locate Rotary and Rotaract club meetings to attend using the Find a Club tool. You might think of ways to collaborate on club activities or hear of an idea you want to try with your club. Visiting other clubs fosters new connections and inspiration.
Join a Rotary Fellowship
Meet others with similar interests by joining a Rotary Fellowship, an international group of people with a common hobby, identity, culture, or vocation. This is a fun way to make friends and explore a pastime or profession.
Join a Rotary Action Group
These include people around the world who have expertise and passion in a particular area, such as economic development, education, the environment, or safe water. Join a Rotary Action Group to share your knowledge, develop your skills, and make professional and personal connections.
Participate in a Rotary Friendship Exchange
Experience different cultures and build international understanding and friendships. This program for Rotary members and friends prioritizes cultural immersion, international service, or vocational exchanges. Friendship Exchange participants take turns hosting one another in their homes and clubs.
Attend a Project Fair
Meet people with whom you can collaborate on international projects. Project fairs typically last two or three days and can include visits to project sites as well as opportunities to experience the local culture. These activities let visitors learn about the community and build long-lasting relationships with their hosts.
Attend the Convention
The Rotary International Convention is held in a different international city each year. You’ll meet members from around the world, learn how to expand our impact, and enjoy inspiring talks from global leaders, celebrities, and activists.
Rotary Jukebox
For a small donation, your favorite musician will be featured on one of our next e-meetings for everyone to enjoy.
